Sunday October 5th we will be hosting our fall pork chop fundraiser and open house. October 5th starts National Fire Prevention Week across the country. We have different events planned throughout the day. Red Cross will be there to discuss their smoke detector program which you will be able to talk to them anytime from 11:00 to 3:00. Illinois State Fire Marshal arson investigation canine demo at 1:00 p.m. and we will have saints Flight helicopter in at 2:00 p.m. and will be able to discuss any questions pertaining to helicopter transport and any misconceptions that the public may have about emergency helicopter transportation. I'm sure we will have the trucks out for all the kiddos to look through and maybe even have a fire hose out for them to spray. Hope to see you all there please spread the word and as always any of the all support will be greatly appreciated.

Also we will deliver within reason to the fields for our farmers

At 17:19 we got paged out for our first (hopefully last) combine fire of the year! The farmer disced around the area so this didn’t turn in to a field fire! No injuries were reported..

MTAFPD is implementing a burn ban effective immediately! With temps soaring in the 90’s and low humidity, fires will spread quickly! Please share!

10/02/2025

THIS WEEKEND: HIGH fire danger expected thanks to temperatures near 90, extremely low relative humidity values and wind gusts as high as 35 mph during the day.

These are the conditions that can and will allow field fires to spread very quickly and challenge our local fire departments.

From today onward, any outdoor burning should again be discouraged if it 's not already outright banned in your local area.
