May 10th through May 16, 2026, is National Police Week and we want to especially recognize and thank the men and women of the Oelwein Police Department, Iowa State Patrol, and Fayette County Sheriff's Office.

Whether it’s assisting on emergency scenes, responding to difficult calls, helping keep our community safe, or answering the radio at 2am when we say “you might want to start our way…” — your dedication and professionalism never go unnoticed.
We appreciate the teamwork, sacrifice, and commitment each of you bring every single day. The job isn’t easy, but we’re grateful to work alongside people who care so deeply about the communities they serve.

And while we may occasionally argue over who makes the coffee stronger or who gets blamed for eating the last donut… we know we can always count on each other when it matters most.

From all of us her at the Oelwein Fire Department — thank you for always having our backs.

Today, we celebrate the moms who do it all — the ones who answer the call at home and in the community.

From all of us at the Oelwein Fire Department, we want to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms, grandmas, stepmoms, and mother figures out there. Thank you for your strength, sacrifice, patience, and unconditional love.

We hope your day is filled with love, family, and maybe even a little peace and quiet.

Happy Mother’s Day!
