We know it’s tempting! The leaves are falling, the weather is beautiful, and it seems like the perfect day to clean up the yard. But before you light that match, please remember burning leaves and garbage is not allowed. 🍂

Only recreational bonfires are permitted within Waterloo city limits. Always make sure your fire is small, controlled, attended at all times, and make sure it's completely extinguished before walking away. You can read the entire city ordinance here: https://cms6.revize.com/revize/waterloo/FireRescue/2022-292%20Recreational%20Fires.pdf?t=202305111137120

Today begins Fire Prevention week. We will be joining fire departments across the nation presenting in schools and providing tours and education on fire safety. This year's NFPA theme is Charge into Fire Safety. To quote the late renowned Phoenix Fire Chief Brunacini, "if we are recounting a fire response" we have already lost. Our ultimate goal is to prevent injury and fires from occurring.

Our firefighter memorial will take place this Sunday at 4pm (425 E 3rd Street). The public is welcome to attend as we honor and celebrate the courage and service of firefighters - past, present and future. Our department takes this event very seriously, please keep distractions to a minimum throughout the ceremony.

A big thank you to Matt Hennig with State Farm for the Fire Prevention Week handouts! We have our open house and lots of school visits next week where we’ll be talking with kids about the importance of fire prevention & safety. These handouts will be a great way to help us make fire safety education fun and engaging for our community.
