This morning, we lost a dear friend, dedicated volunteer, and true champion of the Perry Fire Department. Tom Wolf passed away suddenly in his home, leaving behind a legacy of service, creativity, and heart that will never be forgotten.

Tom was more than just a longtime member of our department—he was our dependable photographer and videographer, always there to capture the moments that mattered. Whether it was training, community events, or the quiet pride after a tough call, Tom was behind the lens making sure our story was told.

He was the guy who had a smile waiting for you at the station when you got back, no matter how late or how hard the call had been. He celebrated every win, comforted us during losses, and constantly reminded us why we do what we do. He was one of our greatest cheerleaders, and his absence will be felt deeply.

Rest easy, Tom. We’ll carry your memory with us in every snapshot, every firehouse laugh, and every step we take forward. You’ll always be part of this family.
Services for Tom are still being planned and we will announce more details as they become available.

Wow!! This is impressive and humbling! We at Perry Fire are just floored by the support. It is true, despite receiving money from the areas and citizens we represent... we do have a need to update equipment to remain in compliance with certain changing standards. Just as strongly we need volunteers as well! Rosters at both the Perry Station and the Dawson Station are low. I know I can safely speak for all departments listed in saying, more hard working individuals who would like to give back to their communities are definitely welcome!

Thank you so much to those who donated early.
We are proud to say we have raised $2110 dollars for the Local Fire Departments of Yale, Jamaica, Bagley, and Perry. There is still plenty of time, we are accepting donations through March 31st. We spoke with both the YJB Chief and the Captain of Perry Departments and they expressed the need for new radios, hose accessories for their trucks, boots, and masks. Please donate if you are able, and help make sure Local Fire Departments have the equipment they need. We’d appreciate the sharing of this post to help spread the word. Thank you all, God Bless

We feel honored and humbled by the outpouring of support from the family, friends, and customers of BTWI. They showed us so much warmth and grace when we answered the call in their time of need. We never expected such a kind and amazing gesture as this. We applaud not only them, but all the residents whose support and loyalty make volunteering in public service a rewarding endeavor!

Words cannot describe our gratitude for the men and women with the Bagley, Jama… Nick Leerhoff needs your support for Support Our Local Volunteer Firefighters

We provide a car painted half Cyclones half Hawkeyes colors and a sledgehammer (plus required safety equipment), and for $5 you get to pick your side and go to town for a minute causing as much destruction as possible! Don't have a favorite team, then hit the car wherever you would like!
