Stewartville first responder suspension

not enough equipment

Winds: n ?10 corona stinger the stewartville fire department is temporarily suspending area first response services.

We're looking into what this means for residents.

The stewartville fire department is the only fire service provider for stewartville and surrounding townships?

So they need to stay healthy to continue to respond to fires and car crashes.

A state and national shortage of personal protective equipment is also posing problems. mayo ambulance service will still be responding to medical calls so if you call 911 for medical reasons?

Someone will still come to help.

The fire department will be ready as a bac?up if it is a life or death it might not be our truck there right away, but our folks will definitely be there on standby this suspension is temporary until the fire department can find more ??e.
