From the members of IVFD, we want to extend our gratitude to The Salvation Army Western Division for providing a meal on July 4th! Having meals provided assists in our mission of staying staffed with our volunteers on busy holidays. Our members responded to several emergencies within the Irvington Fire district throughout the evening.

Please be aware for potential for storms this evening!

Today we honor the Service Members and their families that have given the ultimate sacrifice. Without your sacrifices we would not be where we are today!

Last night our members were presented a class by Children’s Hospital EMS Outreach on pediatric basic and advanced life support skills. The training included pediatric CPR, Airway, IV access, trauma, and several scenarios.

The county wide burn ban has been lifted.

Douglas County is in a Burn Ban effective Immediately!

Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Officer Bartlett. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones, as well as the Ceresco Police Department and Ceresco Fire & Rescue.

Thursday evening members of the Irvington Volunteer Fire Department, received a Heart Saver award from The American Heart Association for their role in resuscitating a pediatric patient.

Dispatched CPR in progress, the Irvington crew, assisted by a DC Deputy arrived and initiated their Code 99 process.

The patient regained a pulse and was transported to Children’s Hospital.

This is an example of where everything went the way it should, excellent team work from 911 dispatch on down to the response team and the ER team.

This month marks the busiest month in department history.

Our members spent Thursday evening training on forcible entry. We were able to use a prop built by one of our members! This allows us to quickly and safely access a home or building in the event of an emergency.

IVFD wrapped up another busy year! Our volunteers responded to 841 emergencies including 624 EMS calls and 217 Fire calls.

We are currently seeking volunteer firefighter and EMS personnel to join our department. We have opportunities for those who live outside our fire district with our hourly program and for those who are only interested in EMS with our EMS only program. No experience is required as all training will be provided by the fire department.

If your are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact us on Facebook or email [email protected].
