ATFD responded to a combine on fire Wednesday evening. The operator was able to off-load the grain hopper and header, and the fire was quickly extinguished by responding department members with minimal damage to the equipment. This was the first response/call for the department's all wheel drive quick attack engine, validating the department's commitment to insuring we can get the right capability to the fire ground quickly. Thank you to all of our volunteers who support our community and township.

September is National Firefighter Appreciation Month, and our "Volunteers" fit the bill! We celebrated our volunteers with Pizza during our recent training night. A huge shout-out to our community volunteers who answer the tone when necessary. In alphabetical order:
Bryan Marsch 2 years
Chip Collins & Dakota Collins 3 years - 3 years
Christopher Phillips 1 year
Darryl Schroeder 4 years
George Bergen 2 years
Ginny Fuhrer & Matt T Rerhuf 8 years - 10 years
Laura Eisenring 4 years

Rural fire departments would not, and cannot exist, if it weren't for volunteers willing to give their time when the need arises to help their neighbors. If you would possibly be willing to spare some time to volunteer, reach out to any of our team members or give Matt Fuhrer (913 775 3879) a call! We do what we can do, for you, our community. Thank you everyone.

Now is the time for to start thinking about addressing fuel reduction burning on rural properties.
Conditions are drying out across the district. If you're planning to burn, please do so safely and follow a few rules.
Before you light up:
🔥 Notify your neighbors 24 hours before you burn. Keep folks informed
🔥 Visit the Leavenworth County Sheriff website ( https://www.lvsheriff.org/burn-permit-information ) and provide information about your burn, before you burn. This allows law enforcement and the local fire department to know.
🔥 Check the forecast, if its windy fires can escape quickly so burn to conditions
🔥 Have water, tools, a clear break and enough people on hand to control it if it moves.
🔥 Please, stay with it. Don't walk away until it's completely out
While you're at it, now's the time to get your property ready for the season ahead. Take some time to consider hazards and defendable space around your house and property.
Get your burn done properly now, and you'll be in a much better position when the season kicks in.

We would like everyone to enjoy the official end of summer this weekend. Hopefully mother nature also got the memo and we will cool off sooner than later. As you enjoy the your long weekend activities, please be aware that everything is drying out and fire risk is increasing steadily. Whether it is work or play, take a minute to consider the "what if" along with the "then what". Alexandria Twp along with Tongi Twp assisted Union Twp Fire with a small grass/field fire. Work or play, please keep your situational awareness and be careful out there. Be safe

This truck doesn’t respond on its own. It takes people who care about their community.

Behind every apparatus is a team of dedicated volunteers who give their time, train hard, and answer the call when our community needs help.

Emergency response vehicles need drivers and operators: people dedicated enough to give their time when the call comes: people who understand that it cannot always be "someone else's job" or "I am too busy".

We’re always looking for men and women who want to make a difference. No experience is necessary—we provide the training. No required/set schedule, you respond when you can.

If you’ve ever considered becoming a volunteer firefighter, send us a message and see how you can be part of the team.

Folks, summer has decided to return! It is hot, it is dry, and we have a week and a half before we get out of the 90 plus degree temps with more than a 10% chance of rain. These are our brush trucks and the tender in the background. We would really prefer to not visit your property with them. If you would like to see the trucks, please give us a call and we will be more than happy to give you a tour at the station. Please be extra careful with fire and potential ignition sources for the next couple weeks. Thank you - ATFD

Alexandria Township Fire Dept and Easton Township Fire Department conducted joint training on water drafting and relay pumping. Joint training facilitates cooperation and interoperability between adjacent/supporting departments. It also allows department members to familiarize themselves with apparatus from our mutual aid fire departments. Great job today everyone, and thank you to all who participated!
