Nehawka Vol. Fire Department

As we have been blessed with rain all day long, we would like to send a thank you out to all those departments that came to help us yesterday with our field fire. We would also like to thank the agricultural community with their assistance of tractors and discs that helped contain the fire.
The fire started in a harvested bean field but the fire grew in size, very quickly, due to winds. Soon after Nehawka and Avoca crews had arrived, the fire grew faster than water would come out. Due to the wind fueled fire conditions, it was decided to declare an all county incident to get additional resources responding to contain the fire.
We would not have been able to contain this fire any sooner without the help of the agricultural community. We had multiple tractors with disc implements assigned to multiple locations to help create a fire break, and work alongside the fire departments. These guys also brought water trailers to help extinguish the fire.
We would like to send a special thanks to Frontier Co-Op for supplying us with semi trailers to fill the trucks on scene in record time, and to help keep our water supply full for the whole length of the call.
The coordination effort of our dispatch professionals help get these resources coming and work behind the scenes from both the fire and law enforcement efforts.
Overall we were on scene for approximately 5 and a half hours.
At the time of this post, we do not have the number of personnel and apparatus from each department to share.

COME ON OVER!

This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.

Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
