Every second counts in an emergency! You can help by removing any snow or ice from the fire hydrant near your house and clearing a path from the hydrant to the street. We appreciate your help!

On Veterans Day and always, we are incredibly grateful for those who serve this country through military service. Thanks especially to the Waukee FD's active duty and military veterans!

thanks to @WaukeeFire who hosted a residential #fireSprinkler demonstration last week provided by @NFSAorg - easy to see for yourself -> fire sprinklers make a difference! in 19 seconds! the sprinkler activated and put out the fire - not so good on the non-sprinklered side...

On Friday, March 19, 2021, the #Waukee Fire Department responded to a structure fire at an apartment complex. It was a call that could have ended differently if not for the quick actions of an unknown citizen and the presence of a fire extinguisher. Story: bit.ly/3smQoBj

As a follow-up to this morning's Statewide Tornado Drill, we encourage you to review Waukee information regarding outdoor warning sirens and severe weather information: bit.ly/3fbuAoI. Thanks!
Severe Weather Awareness Week is March 22-26. This is the time of year that severe thunderstorms stir up damaging winds, lightning and precipitation. Stay weather aware this spring to keep you and you family safe! The statewide tornado drill will be held March 24 at 11:00 a.m.
It's time to spring forward this weekend! As you change your clocks, change your smoke alarm batteries, too. According to the @NFPA, the risk of dying in reported home structure fires is 55% lower in homes w/ working smoke alarms than in homes w/ no alarms or none that worked.

It's cold out, but warm up safely! Heating equipment is a leading cause of home fire deaths. Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from heating equipment, never use an oven to heat your home, and test smoke alarms monthly. See more safety tips: ow.ly/W1LuP
