Anybody else miss those summer staples like Ice Cream trucks, Pool Days, Lemonade stands, water balloons, or running barefoot to see a fire engine!
Ok Maybe the last one isnt a staple. But we still miss seeing everyone. Don't forget you can always come tour a fire station!

Not only do our firefighters look pretty in pink and are SUPER excited to wear their new shirts but they want to remind everyone that October is breast cancer awareness month. Remember that early detection is the key to survival.

Last night we responded to a downed tree limb on Lincoln St that took down a power line. The reason this is news worthy is that this tree is one of the oldest in Bloomington. As the story goes Abraham Lincoln stood by this tree and spoke on one of his trips through Bloomington.

A fire earlier this year was potentially caused by a faulty dehumidifier. In 2013 many brands were recalled for causing fires and its not too late to replace yours
