Walker Fire & Rescue

10/20/2026

Monday night, Walker Fire put in some valuable training focused on firefighter rescue and fireground skills.

Our crew conducted a live dollhouse fire training exercise. The demonstration showed how airflow influences the movement of heat, smoke, and fire throughout a home. It also reinforced an important fire behavior concept: smoke contains unburned fuel. When hot smoke mixes with oxygen under the right conditions, it can ignite, making it critical for firefighters to understand ventilation, flow paths, and the potential dangers smoke presents during an incident.

We also practiced several different victim carries and drags to sharpen our skills in safely removing victims from dangerous situations.

Training like this helps our firefighters stay prepared, work together, and be ready to respond when our community needs us most.

🔥Fire Prevention Week🔥

Walker Fire had the opportunity to get together with Coggon Fire Department and Troy Mills Fire Department at North Linn Community School District to teach kids about the importance of fire safety! We were able to demonstrate how to properly use a fire extinguisher, show off our firefighting gear, and go over important fire safety rules and tips.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make fire safety education fun and memorable! 🧯🚒❤️

Walker Fire Department had the opportunity to use the Mobile Breathing Apparatus Training Unit from Iowa Fire Service Training Bureau.

This training provided valuable hands-on experience in building confidence while navigating tight corridors and learning the importance of air conservation.

During the training, department members entered the trailer wearing SCBA and navigated a maze of obstacles in a dark, smoke-filled, and loud environment. This scenario challenged members to remain calm, conserve their air, communicate effectively, and safely navigate difficult conditions they may encounter, such as narrow passageways, unstable floors, and hanging wires.

Training like this helps prepare our members to operate confidently in emergency situations.

🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET • 9/11/01 🇺🇸

The day countless brave men and women ran toward danger to save the lives of others.

The day far too many families lost someone they loved.

The day we witnessed unimaginable courage in the midst of one of our nation’s darkest moments.

Today, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the families forever changed by that tragic day.

As first responders, we are forever grateful to those who came before us and made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others. We carry their legacy with us and hope to honor their courage, dedication, and selflessness through every call we answer.

Even in the face of danger, we continue to stand ready to serve our communities with courage, commitment, and unwavering dedication.

We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
