A $1,000 donation was made to the Falls City Rural Fire Department for their response of fire fighters and three trucks.

A $1,000 donation was make to the Hiawatha Fire Department for responding with fire fighters and their snorkel truck.

The Fire Chiefs said in a news release that without help from these departments during that difficult time of cold weather and with such a heavy fuel load the outcome could have been much worse.

No injuries were reported during the fire.

Public Information Office Jon McQueen also thanked the businesses and groups who brought clothing, food, drinks and allowed fire fighters to go inside to warm up, and to the many employers allowing their employees to leave their jobs to help fight the fire.

McQueen concluded by saying "Thank You" to everyone who played a part in coming to the aid of the Falls City Volunteer Fire Department.
