(Shenandoah, Iowa) – The Shenandoah Fire Department was dispatched to a residential structure fire at 1130 am Saturday (January 20th), at 403 Church Street. Fire Chief Justin Marshall says upon arrival, crews found a two-story occupied residential structure showing heavy smoke from the 2nd story. The occupants had safely evacuated the home.
Crews commenced an offensive interior attack. Interior crews were faced with heavy smoke and fire and were successful in conducting an initial knock down of the fire.

(Creston, Iowa) – Police in Creston say no injuries were reported following an accident Friday afternoon, on Park Street in Creston. Authorities say a2012 GMC Canyon pickup truck driven by 65-year-old Douglas Brown, of Orient, was traveling north on Park Street at around 4:10-p.m., and a 2007 Dodge Ram pickup driven by 57-year-old Jeffrey Dillenburg, of Creston, was traveling southbound.
Dillenberg told Police he was attempting to hit the brakes as he negotiated the curve, but his boots were so big that he was hitting the accelerator pedal as well as the brakes. The roadway was covered in packed snow, which authorities say caused Dillenburg pickup to lose traction. The vehicle crossed the centerline and struck Brown’s oncoming pickup.
Brown said he saw the other pickup driving too fast for conditions and knew the other vehicle was not going to negotiate the curve. He stopped his pickup in his lane of traffic but was unable to avoid being struck by the Dillenburg pickup. The airbag in Brown’s pickup deployed when the vehicle was struck.
Damage from the collision amounted to $6,500. No citations were issued.
DES MOINES – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is offering a six-month workshop to teach skills needed to hunt, field dress and cook white-tailed deer to individuals who have little to no archery hunting experience.
Experienced instructors will lead the workshop which includes hunting opportunities throughout Iowa’s archery season. The course, designed for participants 21 and older, will be hosted in Adel, Ames, Council Bluffs, Davenport and Iowa City.
Participants will spend the summer months becoming proficient archers with compound bows provided by Iowa DNR. As summer progresses, they’ll learn basic strategies for hunting deer such as proper equipment, where to hunt, safe shooting practices, and tree stand placement. During the fall, participants will learn how to field dress, clean and cook deer from professional butchers and local chefs.
“For those interested in the challenge of bow hunting as a means of sourcing their own meat, this program provides the opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge it takes to do it all yourself,” said Jamie Cook, Hunter Education coordinator with the Iowa DNR.
Applications will be accepted beginning Jan. 16 for all locations. Once accepted, participants will be invited to register for the course. The course cost is $200 which includes course supplies and archery loaner equipment. Applications will be accepted through May 15 or until registration is filled. Space is limited so early registration is encouraged.
For more information and to begin the 2024 Field to Fork application process, go to https://forms.gle/VTGjbq3vBEkieFZr7
The program is provided through a partnership with Raised at Full Draw, The Iowa Bowhunters Association, Johnson, Linn and Story County Conservation, and other various local partners and archery retailers. It is part of a national effort to recruit, retain and reactivate hunters due to the overall decline in hunting and outdoor recreation.
(Iowa DNR News) – Snowmobilers across Iowa are welcoming the return of winter, eager to get out and enjoy the fresh snow. Snowmobiling is a great way to enjoy the outdoors during the winter months, but there’s one hard truth: drinking alcohol and/or consuming drugs and riding just don’t mix.
“It’s important to remember that operating any type of motor vehicle, including snowmobiles, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can cause traumatic injuries, tragic loss of life, and is flat-out against the law,” said Captain Matt Bruner with the Iowa DNR’s Law Enforcement Bureau. “We recommend snowmobile riders of all ages take a snowmobile safety course, don’t outride your abilities or trail conditions, and perhaps most importantly, don’t drink and ride.”
The following safety tips will make snowmobiling a great experience with all recreation explorers:
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) are teaming up to promote a safe and sober snowmobile season by hosting a booth at the Iowa Winter Games in Okoboji, Jan. 25-28, in Arnolds Park.
(Iowa DNR News) – With cold weather finally arriving in Iowa and freezing over lakes and ponds, ice fishing activity has begun at certain northern lakes. The Iowa Department of Natural Resource (DNR) reminds all anglers – especially those in central and southern Iowa – to stay patient and allow ice thickness to grow before heading to their favorite ice fishing spot.
The DNR recommends a minimum of four inches of quality ice for fishing and at least five inches for snowmobiles and ATVs.
Ice forms at different rates on each body of water depending upon the size and water depth. Once frozen, conditions change constantly and ice thickness can vary across the lake. Rocks, trees, docks or other things that poke through the ice will conduct heat and make the ice around it less stable. The DNR recommends that anglers test the ice thickness frequently and to trust your instincts – if the ice does not look right, don’t go out.
A blanket of snow on top of an ice-covered lake insulates the ice, slowing the growth of ice and hiding potential hazards or weak spots. River ice is 15 percent weaker than lake ice. Ice with a bluish color is safer than clear ice. Avoid slushy or honey-combed and stay away from dark spots on the ice. Don’t walk into areas where the snow cover looks discolored.
