Hard to believe we are just starting into 2026. With that being said, February 21st 2026 is the date for our annual soup supper fundraiser.

We are taking donations for silent auction and raffle items. Know a small business that maybe interested in donating towards the event, reach out to a fire department member or simply send a message.
We look forward to the new year and seeing all that support our small community department

We mourn the loss of two Iowa National Guard soldiers who died while deployed in the Middle East. Their service and sacrifice will not be forgotten. We stand with our service members as we keep their families, loved ones, and fellow service members in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

We must never forget the ultimate sacrifice given that day and we must remember the unity of our country the day after! May we all live with the intensity the 343 firefighters had to do their job with the world falling around them!

“One of the worst days in America’s history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans’ history. We’ll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will NEVER forget their sacrifice.” – Former President George W. Bush

🚜 Harvest Season Safety Reminder 🌽

As summer winds down and the corn keeps growing, please take extra caution at gravel road intersections—especially when tall corn is blocking your view. These crossings can become dangerous due to limited visibility.

👀 Look both ways—twice.
🚗 Slow down before every intersection.
📵 Stay off your phone—distractions can wait.
🚜 Watch for farm equipment and other rural drivers.

Let’s keep ourselves, our neighbors, and our families safe on the road. Share this to help spread the word! 💛

🚧 Rural Road Safety Reminder 🌽🚗

It’s that time of year when tall crops like corn can make it hard to see at gravel road intersections. Please take a few extra seconds to stay safe out there:

✅ Slow down well before the intersection
✅ Come to a stop and look both ways
📵 Stay alert – phones down, eyes up

These intersections can be especially dangerous with limited visibility, dust, and higher speeds. Whether you're in a car, truck, or tractor, your caution could save a life.

Let’s all do our part to keep our rural roads safe this season. 🌱

📚🚸 Back to School Safety Reminder from the Oelwein Fire Department! 🚒🚌

As students head back to class, let’s all do our part to keep them safe:

✅ Slow down in school zones — watch for flashing lights and crossing guards.
✅ Stop for school buses — it's the law when their stop sign is out!
✅ Watch for kids biking, walking, or dashing between parked cars.

Let’s make this school year a safe and successful one for all Oelwein families!
Stay alert. Stay safe. Stay Oelwein Strong.

We hope everyone has a great school year!
