• After ten year absence, ambulance service will return to Dows (radioiowa.com) — Ambulance service is returning to nearby Dows after a decade without local EMS, which matters for Eagle Grove residents who share Wright County emergency resources. With a donated ambulance and five volunteers ready, organizers still need about $50,000 and are planning a December 12 town meeting and fundraising meal to get the service running by mid-2027.
