The Cushing Fire and Rescue squad, established in 1895, has 21 all-volunteer trained firefighters and EMTs. We have members who are certified in Firefighter I & II, Hazmat and CPR. The department is committed to helping in the community's time of need. We conduct training meetings at least once per month and attend regional fire schools for advanced training as offered. miles and provide mutual aid for all of Woodbury County and for the communities of Holstein and Battle Creek. The Cushing ambulance squad was established in 1959 and is currently staffed with 6 trained EMTs and receives support from the fire squad. The fire department is YOUR department as your donations and tax dollars fund the department's operations, for which the fire and rescue squad is deeply appreciative. We have recently installed central air conditioning for the entire facility. The station can be rented for private or public functions. The meeting room, which is complete with kitchen facilities, can be rented separately or with the whole building. Call Captain Keith Jackson for scheduling and rates.

Urgent Woodbury County Alert: A BURN BAN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SEVERAL FIRE DISTRICTS IN WOODBURY COUNTY BEGINNING TODAY AT 1PM CST. DISTRICTS WHERE OPEN BURNING IS BANNED INCLUDE: ANTHON, CORRECTIONVILLE, CUSHING, DANBURY, MOVILLE, OTO, PIERSON, SALIX, SERGEANT BLUFF, AND SLOAN.
The Cushing Fire Department is asking for everyone to NOT do any open burning, no trash burning, to properly dispose of smoking materials, and be mindful of safety chains when towing. Please Dial 911 if you spot any smoke or fire.
We also would appreciate any area farmers to consider having a tractor and disc ready in case they are needed. They can be one of the most effective ways to suppress field fires.

We want to thank all the fire departments that showed up at the field fire southeast of Cushing this afternoon. And a special thanks to the tractors and discs that showed up. (We think we counted twelve but there could have been more.) We couldn’t have tamed that fire down without you.
