JMFD was dispatched to a water emergency. A duck hunter located in a remote part of Hawkeye wildlife reserve required help. We appreciate the team that showed up and the private citizens that offer their equipment to get us to the stranded hunter. The community stepped up and we are grateful for the drone operators and right equipment to help those in situations they never intended to be in.

Thank you to
