Waukee Fire Department

This is an intense reminder of why it’s important to close your doors before going to sleep. In this case, the closed door helped keep the fire contained in the garage, reducing damage to the rest of the home.

It’s hot out there and we want everyone to stay safe. Slow down, take breaks, drink plenty of water and avoid strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day. Being able to spot heat exhaustion or heat stroke early can make a big difference.

Heat exhaustion can look like:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Weakness

Heat stroke symptoms include:
- A body temperature of 103 ° or higher
- Confusion
- A fast, strong pulse

If you see these symptoms or are experiencing them yourself, move to a cooler place and call 911.

It's Day! ☀️🥵

Heat-related illnesses are preventable by staying hydrated & avoiding peak heat. Recognizing the signs of heat exhaustion & heat stroke—such as dizziness, nausea, or extreme body temperature—enables you to intervene quickly & provide potentially life-saving first aid.

Our Junior Firefighter Day Camp has changed dates. The camp is now on June 30, and we have a couple spots left. Kids 7-13 years old will spray a fire hose, learn about different firefighting tools and even try on the gear. Save your spot at Waukee.org/Registration.

On Memorial Day, the Waukee Fire Department honors and remembers the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedom we enjoy every day. We are forever grateful.
