   The Rapid Valley Volunteer Fire Department responded to a report of a residential structure fire in the 4700 block of Greenfield Ln., Rapid Valley, unincorporated,

   It’s that month when we all start thinking about what happened to summer. We say things like holy cow, I didn’t get anything done. Or oh crud, guess I’ll have to wait until next year.

   September was a busy month. 

   There were several District Fire Schools across the state. Board meetings, Fall Fire Conference and Memorial Service.

   I am so ready for fall and winter. Out here in Northwest Kansas our pastures never did green up, many have sold off their cows and the farmers are now cutting the corn for silage.

On July 21, Sandstone Fire and their mutual aid partner Finlayson Fire and Rescue were dispatched to a Dell Road address for a fully involved mobile home.

   October 9-15 is Fire Prevention Week. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has announced “Fire Won’t Wait. Plan Your Escape” as the theme for this year. 

   Greetings Minnesota firefighters and families! It is the morning of the 11^th of September as I compose this- a day we are reminded to never forget.

Sept. 7-8, 2022: South Dakota Chapter IAAI 2022 Fire Investigation Conference, Arrowwood Conference Center, 1500 Shoreline Dr., Oacoma, SD.
