Runnells-Camp Township
Fire Department
Welcome to Station 47
104 Brown St, Runnells, IA  50237
Phone 966-2241
Fax 966-2824
Fire Station 47 is a Combination Fire Department that is staffed with paramedic/firefighters
Monday through Friday from 7 am – 5 pm and with volunteer firefighters and emergency
medical personnel the remaining hours of the day and weekends.  When a call is made to 911
it transfers to the local area and crew.

Our Community is very fortunate to have such a dedicated group of men and women who, so
faithfully, give their time to serve those in need.  They are the true heroes in our daily life.  

Funding for the department is largely provided through property tax assessments from Polk
and Jasper County, including Camp Township, Red Rock Township,  a portion of Four Mile
Township and the City of Runnells.  Metro Waste Authority donates .05 cents per ton
directly to Camp Township for fire and EMS protection.  Re-imbursement from the billing of
private insurance companies, medicare/medicaid, and payments from individuals who were
transported by ambulance provide additional funding.  The fire department will also
thankfully accept donations of any amount.

Thank you to all of our many supporters!
