Happy National First Responders Day!

Today, the City of New Richland would like to recognize and thank all of our first responders for their dedication, courage, and commitment to keeping our community safe.

This year, we are especially grateful for the incredible support and countless hours our first responders dedicated to helping New Richland through the September flooding. When our community needed help, you showed up, stepped in, and worked alongside others to protect and support our residents.

Your selflessness, hard work, and willingness to put others first do not go unnoticed. We are fortunate to have people who serve our community with such heart, especially during challenging times.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you do for New Richland. We appreciate you today and every day! ❤️💙
