UPDATED 10/5/08; NEW PHOTOS ADDED, AND NOW FEATURING A CALENDAR OF LTFR ACTIVITIES!

OPEN HOUSE!

The Lone Tree Fire and Rescue Department will be hosting an open house to celebrate Fire Prevention Week on Thursday, October 9, 2008 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Lone Tree Fire Station on West Commercial Street in Lone Tree. This year's Fire Prevention Week theme is "Prevent Home Fires."

All community residents, families and friends, are encouraged to come by and meet the firefighters, practice a home escape drill in the Fire Safety Smoke House, learn about smoke detectors, ask questions about fire prevention and safety, see fire trucks up close, and understand what it takes to be a Volunteer Firefighter and First Responder. A drawing will be held to give away a Build-A-Bear for those children who sign-up at the event.
For more information contact Kent Andersen at (319) 530-8180

Please join us for this important event and thank you for your support of the Lone Tree Fire and Rescue.

BATTERY UP!

Teams of Lone Tree Firefighters and Red Cross Volunteers will visit those who need assistance to change batteries in smoke detectors and discuss fire safety concerns. If you don't have a smoke detector, one will be installed for you at no charge. This is a free service.
This event will take place on October 25, 2008, from 8 - 11 a.m.
Call the Grant Wood Red Cross at (319) 393-3500 to register.

If you have any group or organization that would like a tour of the fire station, or a presentation about emergency medical/fire/safety issues, feel free to contact any member, call the station, send email to lonetreefire@iowatelecom.net or if you see us at the station drop by and say "hi," we're always happy to have visitors.

Some also have certifications in Firefighter I, II, EMT-I, Confined Space Rescue, and Rescue Technician (which includes, high-angle, water, and vehicle extrication.) The Dept. is now fully NIMS FY2006 compliant and working toward the 2007 requirements. LTFR is also contracted with the Duane Arnold Energy Center near Cedar Rapids, IA to provide personnel to relocation centers in Iowa City as Radiation Monitors in the event that evacuation is needed during an incident.

Our meetings are held on the 1st Tuesdays of the month for Fire, and the 4th Tuesdays for EMS. Each meeting consists of a training topic, and a business meeting. Other training sessions are scheduled as needed and all members are free to enroll in various courses offered around the state.
