The Atlantic Fire Department, Wednesday evening, joined their fellow firefighters from around the State and Country, in showing a sign of strength and support for all who work daily in EMS, Fire and Law enforcement, as well as for those working around the clock to provide care, those who strive to find the right medicine to help, those in the food/grocery industry to feed us and those trucking daily to keep us going.

Fire Chief Tom Cappel explained the Iowa Fireman’s Association encouraged all Iowa Fire Departments to open their doors and turn on the lights on their trucks, as a sign of strength and hope for all. “Hope for all who work daily in EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement to be ready to strengthen those they’re working for around the clock and provide the care to those who need it.”

Chief Cappel said also that the COVIDE-19 virus is making for a trying time for all of us. “With people’s uncertainty of knowing what’s going on, and what’s going to happen….we just want everybody to know that your law enforcement, your EMS and your health care are all their, and ready to go work when anything happens.” They’re a brotherhood and sisterhood of people who support each other and their communities.
