LFPD was able to get our patient off to the care facility the fastest way possible today with the help of LifeFlight Eagle and Grundy Co. Ambulance!

We have elevated fire weather danger tomorrow, so please practice #firesafety! Winds from the southwest will be gusting between 30-40 mph tomorrow with warm and dry conditions. Burning tomorrow is discouraged. #MOwx #kswx #kcwx

Thanks to all of our first responders!! We appreciate each and everyone of you for your bravery!

Everyone please take a moment to pray for the family and friends of Firefighter Charles Chuck McCormick of the West Peculiar Fire Protection District in Missouri. Firefighter McCormick died in the line of duty on January 5, 2020 at a residential structure fire.

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone here at LFPD!

Laredo Fire responded to a car fully engulfed on E highway east of Laredo. Fire was put out successfully, everyone was safe. Laredo was on scene approx. 1 hour.

Thanksgiving is by far the leading day for U.S. home cooking fires. This video shows some of the very common mistakes made my people frying their turkey, and how dangerous it can be! Stay safe: https://bit.ly/35ifPIw

Fire Prevention Week Day #3: If we can’t find you, we can’t help you! This image applies more so to county residents. If you live in town, please make sure that your address is displayed and is easily seen from the road.

It's Fire Prevention Week! This year's theme is "Not Everyone Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!" What that means is everyone has a role to play in preventing fire and preserving life in the event of a fire.... We're starting with some situational awareness tips for you and your family to keep an eye out for fire hazards in your surroundings anywhere you go. That, of course, includes having working smoke alarms in your home to alert you to any fire danger. Help us spread the word!

Hwy V and Hwy E are water covered this am.

We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember... Today, 343 weighs heavy on all fire departments across the nation. Today, we remember the bravery and sacrifice. Today and everyday. We never forget.

Dan Doofus has to learn the hard way how to prevent cooking fires in this video. Learn about staying safe from his mistakes!
