Anamosa fire

     Anamosa firefighters received a report of a house fire Monday afternoon, Jan. 14, and upon arrival the front portion of the house was ablaze. Monticello Fire was called for mutual aid, but the house was deemed a total loss. A woodburner on the front porch is suspected of being the cause of the fire.

“Triage” Sorting out a disaster

     It seems as though we hear of mass casualty incidents every week. Part of this is how connected we are with the rest of the world. In the past, news traveled much slower. Often these incidents are in cities. These locations may be able to call on unlimited resources to deal with the incidents.

Barn fire

     The Red Oak Fire Department was called to a barn fire on Feb. 11. The barn was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived. Emerson Fire Department and Essex Fire Department provided tanker support.
