At 5:11 this evening BCFD was paged out for mutual aid for What Cheer Volunteer Fire and Rescue at the Rose Hill Marsh. Oskaloosa Fire Department and Cedar Township(Fremont) Fire were also paged out for mutual aid as well. The departments worked together to provide water and provide assistance to get to the area that couldn’t be accessible by our bigger fire trucks. Teamwork is what gets the job done.

We would like to thank everyone who donated last night when we passed the boot for the family who lost their home Sunday! The money was given to the family this morning, and they also want to thank everyone as well! A little bit is always a huge blessing in these situations!

We would like to thank the Montezuma Girl Scout troop for bringing us cookies this evening! This young lady met her cookie goal and this will be her first year going to camp! Fun fact Chief Blom was a Girl Scout!

6-7:30 tonight we will be at our station for our monthly truck checks and meeting. During this time we ask anyone in the Barnes City area willing to donate to the family who lost their home Sunday, to stop in in as we are passing the boot to raise money for them and place your donation in the boot as well. Their home was a total loss leaving them with nothing so even a small donation is still a huge help!

We will be passing the boot tomorrow at our monthly meeting to raise money for the family that lost their home to the fire we responded to on Sunday. Anyone that would like to donate and wants to stop in to put money in the boot, we will be at station 6-7:30. All the money will be turned over to CERT to present the family with!

The man, the myth, the legend!
Lewie is our longest serving member! He has over 50 years on BCFD! Tonight he joined us for our controlled burn, and we captured this picture of him. We are so honored to have a man like him to serve with!

The thing about being a fire fighter is not one single call is the same as the one before. Marv captured these photos of our crew this morning on the call we had. Sometimes we are cleaning up a burnt car and debris from a gravel road while the day before we responded to a house fire. This is a huge reason we train so much and in different things!

At 9:36 this morning BCFD was paged out to assist with a vehicle that was burnt and no longer on fire. The car was found burnt in the middle of the road on Snyder Ave. We helped load the vehicle and clean up the debris in the road.
