Grow Cedar Valley’s Post

oday, we want to shine a spotlight on Tina Petersen, a dedicated volunteer for Hudson, IA Volunteer Fire & Rescue. Tina has been serving the Hudson community for 19 years, balancing a full-time job with the demanding responsibilities of being a volunteer Firefighter EMT. Volunteers like Tina play vital role in our communities. They step up to serve without hesitation, often sacrificing their own time and safety. We are incredibly grateful for Tina and all volunteer firefighters who make our communities safer and stronger.

As Independence Day approaches, we reflect on the values that make our nation great: freedom, bravery, and community. This year, we give a special shoutout to our local fire departments who tirelessly serve our community. It's a great time to remember the hard work and commitment of our firefighters. Their efforts in fire prevention, education, and emergency response have a profound impact on our community. To all the men and women in our fire departments, your bravery and dedication are deeply appreciated. Our community is stronger because of you. From all of us at Grow Cedar Valley, thank you for everything you do. Happy Independence Day! We also want to remind everyone to celebrate responsibly, especially when it comes to fireworks. We urge everyone to follow local guidelines and safety tips to prevent accidents and injuries. Let's enjoy the festivities while ensuring the safety of ourselves and those around us. Katy Susong President and CEO of Grow Cedar Valley
