We tried really hard to think of something amusing to post, but it's just not happening. Maybe it's the glow of the tree, the warmth of the blankets or the blinding white from the snow coming in the windows... we're just not feeling it. See what you can come up with?
Crews are moving into residentials. If you can move your vehicles, help us out. If you can't park off-street, but can coordinate parking on one side of the street, great! We appreciate you!
And please remember when it's extremely cold, de icing products don't have the moisture or temperature they need to melt snow and ice. Even sand may not "bite" or stick well. Please slow down and drive appropriately for the conditions.We tried really hard to think of something amusing to post, but it's just not happening.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RE: STRUCTURE FIRE, 1207 S 24TH ST, FORT DODGE
Shortly after 3:00 p.m. on December 11, 2025, the Fort Dodge Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 1207 S 24th St. Crews arrived to find a two-story wood-frame home with fire showing from the front of the first floor.
Firefighters began simultaneous search, forcible entry, and fire attack operations, though icy conditions and freezing temperatures complicated setup. The fire had heavily involved the first floor and extended into the second floor. Multiple handlines were used to bring the fire under control. Primary searches were all clear, and it was determined that no one was home at the time of the fire.
A second alarm was requested, bringing six off-duty firefighters back to assist with extensive overhaul. There were no reported injuries. Three dogs were rescued from the home-two by bystanders and one by fire personnel. The animals are in the care of neighbors this evening.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. According to property records, the residence is owned by Ron Williams.
The Fort Dodge Fire Department was assisted at the scene by the Fort Dodge Police Department and MidAmerican Energy.
