Be prepared for severe weather this evening! Secure your outdoor belongings and keep an eye on your favorite weather app, local TV stations, or radio stations. If you are outside, the sirens will be sounded in the event of a TORNADO WARNING or the SPOTTING OF A TORNADO.

If you are in the Larimore community and require shelter during severe weather, the Larimore Elementary School (700 Clark Ave) is the designated shelter area. Emergency personnel will be there to allow entry, provide instruction, and collect your information.

Severe storms are expected tonight into Wednesday morning across the region. A squall line is expected to move east out of western ND with widespread severe wind gusts of 60 to 75 mph with localized 80+ mph. Hail as large as golf balls and a tornado is also possible. With this event largely occurring overnight, make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings. Also, plan now and know where to go if a warning is issued for your area.

🚒 Training Opportunity – Vehicle Donations Needed 🚒

Larimore Fire and Rescue is gearing up for more hands-on training!

On June 13th, our members will be participating in Auto Extrication Training, and we're looking for donated vehicles to help our firefighters practice the skills needed to safely rescue victims from real motor vehicle crashes.

We can use just about anything:
✅ Drivable or non-drivable
✅ Running or not running
✅ Wrecked, broken down, or simply no longer wanted

If we can cut it apart, we can learn from it.

Compensation for vehicle donations is available.

If you're interested in donating a vehicle, please comment on this post or send us a message by June 9th.

Your donation helps our firefighters train for the emergencies we hope never happen but must always be prepared for.

Thank you for supporting Larimore Fire and Rescue and helping us serve our community safely and effectively. 🚒

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness gave us the freedoms we enjoy every day.

This Memorial Day, the members of the Larimore Volunteer Fire Department ask our community to take a moment to reflect on those who gave everything in service to others. We also extend our gratitude to the families who carry their memories forward.

As you gather with family and friends this weekend, please celebrate safely and never forget the true meaning of Memorial Day.

From all of us at the Larimore Volunteer Fire Department — thank you to all who have served, and we honor those who never came home. 🇺🇸

Training Day! 🚒🚑

The community may notice increased emergency vehicle traffic around town today as Larimore Fire and Ambulance participate in an Emergency Vehicle Operators Course sponsored by the North Dakota Firefighter's Association.

Please use caution and patience if you see our crews out training throughout the day. These hands-on exercises help our members safely and efficiently operate large emergency vehicles in a variety of situations and conditions.

Training like this is an important part of keeping both our responders and our community safe. Thank you for your support of Larimore Fire and Ambulance!

Wind is a little less today but Grand Forks County is still under an Extreme Fire Danger Rating! Please do not burn anything today! Rain is in the forecast in a few days to hopefully settle some of this dust and fire danger down.

The Larimore Volunteer Fire Department Booster Club is a North Dakota gaming organization established to help support the funding needs of the Larimore Fire Department, while also giving back to organizations and causes throughout the Larimore community.

For the past two years, the LFD Booster Club has proudly partnered with the BNSF Railway Foundation to create the Geoff Andersen Memorial Scholarship. Geoff was not only an Engineer for BNSF, but also a dedicated and valued member of LFD. This year’s scholarship essay focused on safety — a core value in both the fire service and Geoff’s work with the railroad.

Last night, LFD and BNSF recognized the 2026 recipients of this award. Please join us in congratulating Braden Bacon and Rachel Schadler on earning this scholarship!
