Volunteers have successfully put up a new 50-foot emergency radio tower at the Nauvoo Fire Station

Volunteers have successfully put up a new 50-foot emergency radio tower at the Nauvoo Fire Station, giving Nauvoo a powerful backup lifeline for when the next big storm or disaster hits. The Daily Gate City reports the new structure replaces an old antenna that had been at the station for years. The new tower will give the town a reliable way to call the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office 911 dispatchers, and connects the local Nauvoo Emergency Communications Network. Once everything is established, the Nauvoo Fire Protection District office will become the main headquarters for all local emergency communications. The equipment inside the fire station runs on both solar power and a backup generator, so even if the electrical grid crashes and local cellphone towers go completely dead, the town’s emergency system will stay up and running.
