Dominic Dubas, an Omaha native and active-duty Air Force firefighter, is fighting for his life after a hit-and-run in Austin. We have learned the suspect fled to Mexico. I urge @Claudiashein and Mexican authorities to work with U.S. officials to return him to the United States to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Dominic and his family deserve accountability.

Please join me in saying a prayer tonight for the family and friends of Isai Huerta of Local 1665. Isai, who served with Odessa Fire for 9 years, made the ultimate sacrifice yesterday.

Two other FFs were injured in the incident. They are also in my thoughts as they recover.

It was an honor for BCSO and KPD to assist in escorting a convoy of trucks carrying hay across Buffalo County in support of communities impacted by the western Nebraska wildfires.

Safe travels to those delivering help where it’s needed most.

For too long, suicide in the fire service lived in the shadows.

Today, IAFF programs are helping Locals across North America train members to recognize warning signs and intervene before a crisis becomes a tragedy.

Few dry eyes as the procession carrying CFD FF-EMT Michael Altman arrived here at Blake-Lamb Funeral Home. Altman, fondly known as “Mickey,” was a fourth-generation Chicago firefighter. He was preparing to welcome his second child with his wife in just a few short weeks.

Shortly after 5 pm yesterday, Deputies responded to a call for a dog in distress in the area of 228th and Harney Street, just south of Waterloo. When they arrived they were informed by homeowners that a dog had fallen through the ice on the lake and was treading water. Deputy Kubik, a DCSO K9 handler, made use of a kayak that was on one of the homeowner's docks and quickly made his way across the ice, using his oar to break the ice as he paddled to the dog. About the time he reached the dog, @Waterloo800 also arrived and assisted in pulling Deputy Kubik and Boomer the dog back to shore.

Once on shore, Deputy Clark took the 'chilly dog' inside to warm him up with a hair dryer. We are happy to report that after a brief vet visit yesterday, Boomer is doing great.

Thank you to our courageous Deputies and our partners at Waterloo Fire and Rescue for their assistance.
