This morning, the Rockwell Fire Department responded to assist the Dougherty Fire Department with a shed on fire in town. The building was controlled and did not spread to surrounding structures. The structure and contents were a total loss. Other agencies on scene were the Dougherty Fire Department, Greene Fire Department, Sheffield Fire Department, Marble Rock Fire Department, Rockford Fire Department, Rockwell Police Department, and Cerro Gordo County Sheriff's Department.

Over the last couple months we have been working on a small remodel. This remodel included new lockers, flooring, appliances, tv's, lighting and storage.

We added a new TV that shows our Active 911 responses and mapping for calls.
New lockers that provide a larger and more practical area to store our turnout gear and radios. And of course Pro Shield Epoxy knocked the floors out of the park.

-2,977 innocent people
-343 firefighters/paramedics
-60 police officers
-2,000+ 1st responders who died of 9/11 related cancers

Never forget them. Never forget the bravery displayed that day.
To those first responders, many of which still suffer TO THIS DAY, your heroism exemplified the BEST of humanity.

Life can change in an instant. Don’t take it for granted. It’s hard but of all days, take this day to pause and reflect. Teach younger generations the stories behind the faces of those who perished, the heroism of that day. Teach them about America’s resilience and her unbreakable spirit.
