On scene of a house fire near Karen Lane, all occupants have evacuated and flames are extinguished, crews are working to make sure the fire has not spread to other areas.
We welcomed five new firefighters and recognized several promotions at a badge pinning ceremony Aug. 21. More than 70 people attended the program, including family members who were invited to pin badges on their loved ones. Congrats and welcome!
Happy 80th Birthday, Smokey!
As the nation’s longest running public service campaign, Smokey has shown generations how to prevent wildfires. With over 80% of wildfires being started accidentally or by carelessness, Smokey's message is as relevant today as it was in 1944.

On scene of a house fire on the 5400 block of county road 101, occupants have evacuated, crews are working to extinguish the fire, expect delays on 101, plan an alternate route due to 101 being closed at this time.
Today the crew is working on hose testing.
We test our fire hose yearly to ensure it will perform in any emergency. We have just under 30,000 feet of hose, which is about 5 miles - the length of Minnetonka Blvd from the west border to the east border of the city!
As temps increase this week, remember to: stay cool, stay hydrated and informed; check on your neighbors, friends and family; reduce time outside and cool off in AC; and keep kids and pets cool and safe.
Crews are on scene of a fire at the Hillcrest of Wayzata building, the building is vacant and crews are working to locate the fire in the boarded up building and extinguish the flames.
Don't forget about safety when you're trying to squeeze in some holiday fireworks before or between storms this holiday weekend. We wish you a SAFE and happy Fourth of July! 🎆🇺🇸
