2026 Dubuque County Fair EXHIBIT BOOTH SPOTLIGHT: Dubuque County Emergency Responder Training Facility “This is what training looks like. 🔥 Before a firefighter ever faces a real emergency, they face this — a live fire, a dark room, and the split-second decisions that save lives. When every second counts, preparation makes all the difference. At the Dubuque County Emergency Responder Training Facility, we give firefighters, law enforcement, and EMS workers the chance to train under real-life conditions in a safe, controlled environment — so when the call comes, they're ready. We’re proud to support the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe- and we’re proud to be the facility that helps make that possible.” Advancing skills, protecting communities and saving lives. Preparing Heroes For Every Challenge. 🌐 dubuquecountyfire.org Stop by their booth at the Dubuque County Fair | July 28th - Aug 2nd, 2026 for more information as well!
