This morning, at approximately 6:05am, Oxford FD was dispatched to the 1900 block of W Ave in Homestead for a reported grain dryer on fire. OFD responded with seven personnel and four apparatus. While enroute, OFD requested tankers and manpower assistance from Amana FD.

Upon arrival, OFD observed fire showing approximately 30 feet up in the dryer. Firefighters initially utilized a 1.75” hose line and initiated a fire attack. Due to the complexity of the dryer structure, a request for Amana FD’s platform aerial was made to better reach and more accurately extinguish the fire.

Firefighters worked with local farmers and remained on scene for approximately 2 hours. A damage estimate is not available at this time.

OFD would like to thank the following for their assistance.

- Amana Fire Department
- Iowa County EMS
- Iowa County Sheriff’s Office
- Iowa County 911
- Joint Emergency Communications Center
- Local Farmers

Preparing for Harvest Season 🌾
Last night, members of both the Oxford Fire Department and First Responders spent the evening undergoing intensive grain bin rescue training to ensure we are fully prepared ahead of the upcoming harvest season. While we hope we never have to use these skills, we know how crucial it is to be ready for any agricultural emergency in our community.
We want to extend a thank you to everyone who made this training possible:
• Professional Rescue Innovations and instructor Pat Fray for providing the hands-on training.
• Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau
• Lyle Crow and Fertile Valley Farms for providing the corn we used during our training.
•
We are proud to serve this community and stand ready to support our local farmers this season. Stay safe out there!
