The North Liberty Volunteer Fire Department (NLVFD) has published "The Hot Spot" Web Site. The site has been running since May 22, 1997. Donations of computer equipment by First National Bank of North Liberty and Internet access by Internet Navigators have been valuable in maintaing this site. The HOT SPOT has been designed by Mark and Jennifer Wyatt.

Annual Firefighters' Dance
The North Liberty Volunteer Fire Department's Annual Firefighters' Dance was a success.  Thanks goes out to Firefighter Jeff Boudreau for coordinating this years fundraising efforts.  We hope to see you again next year.  Thank you for your donations.

Air Pack Masks
Cases have been purchased to protecct the individual airpack masks for firefighters.  The canvas-style cases are worn on the firefighters turnout gear with the mask attached.  These bags will help increase the life of the air masks. 

Hose
Recently, NLVFD has been working to purchase new sections of hose.  New 5", 1½", and 2" sections will expand the supply of hose for use on fires.   All "Preconnected" hoses use colored coded hoses to aid the pump operator in fireground water supply. 

Defibrillator
The first responders have upgraded their defibrillator to a Physiocontrol Lifepak 500 Automatic External Defibrillator.  This machine records the ECG & Voice with a digital system and transfers information directly to the UIHC via modem for quality assurance.  The upgraded machine has a daily self-test, with a failure warning system. 

Pulse Oximetry
A Nonin 8500 pulse oximeter was purchased from donations by the North Liberty Jaycees.  A pulse oximeter is able to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood.   First Responders have been trained and should be using the machine on calls.
