The 2021 season has been extremely dry and as a result the Fire Dept would like to provide you with a few tips for the upcoming season.

• Start with clean Harvest equipment and clean daily using compressed air or a leaf blower.
• Check your fire extinguisher and ensure it is operational and still charged.
• Install a pressurized water extinguisher on your combine.
• Install a spade or shovel on your combine
• Ensure a piece of tillage equipment is ready and available for use.
• Fill your water tank and have ready for use.

There are other things a person could do to protect your equipment and property, if you have any questions, please contact any fire dept member.

Thank you
