Take Cover on the Grounds
- Not a lot of cover on the grounds. The only sever weather shelter
would be located inside of the under pass (tunnel) or inside of the
bathrooms under the grandstand.
In case of Barn or Structural Fire
- Biggest Concern is to keep people out of the barns and away from
the area to allow the firefighters access to do their job.
- The Firefighters main concern is for Human Lives, individuals are
strongly discouraged to attempt to save any livestock in the case of
a Barn Fire
- Keep Fire Lanes and ends of the barns clear of vehicles so the
Fire Department can get in.
In Case of a Medical Emergency
- The Iowa County Fair Board does put a person at the front gate on
an ATV in order to lead the EMT's from the front gate to the
individual in need of care.
- Extremely important to keep the area clear of on lookers in order
to make way for the EMT's.
