Emergency Fire Response

Structure fires, vehicle fires, and wildland incidents — our crews respond swiftly with modern equipment and coordinated tactics to protect lives and property.

Medical First Response

Our volunteers are trained in emergency medical care, providing critical first-response support before ambulances arrive — often cutting minutes that save lives.

Complimentary inspections for homes, small businesses, and community buildings. We identify hazards, review exit plans, and help you stay compliant with local codes.

Trained volunteer teams respond to vehicle extrication, water rescue, and search operations throughout the Peosta area — day or night, in any weather.

Hazardous Materials

Spill containment, chemical incident response, and coordination with county agencies — our volunteers maintain specialized training for hazardous material events.
