Nebraska Fire and Rescue members of the NSVFA: Welcome to the September issue of the Nebraska Firefighter. We have had a brutal, hot, humid summer so far.
This past month the Pierre Dive Squad hosted a Dive Rescue 1 Course. This was a three-day (24 hour) class to learn the latest techniques in underwater rescue and recovery.
There are five generations in the U.S. workforce today: the Silent Generation (aged 74 to 89), Baby Boomers (54 to 73), Gen X (42 to 53), Millennials (24 to 41) and Gen Z (under 23).
On behalf of the SDFA Board of Directors, I would like to pass along our sincerest condolences to the Gayville Volunteer Fire Department and their families.

Fellow Firefighters - I hope that you all are doing well and enjoying your summer. The Iowa State Fair is just around the corner Aug. 12th-22nd.
Fire season has arrived for the year in Nebraska and local fire chiefs have begun requesting observation flights to detect possible wildfires as soon after lightning strikes as possible.
Nebraska Fire and Rescue members of the NSVFA: Welcome to the dog days of summer and the heat that follows in August.
