Programs Connect Residents with Vital Information and Resources

Help Connect: A Community Health Alliance Initiative
Albert Lea Fire Rescue works with several community partners to help residents find the resources they need to live a safe and independent life. This program aims to increase the quality of life for all Albert Lea citizens.
Reassurance
This call-in program is designed to provide reassurance that homebound residents, those living alone, or others needing a daily contact are doing well.
The resident calls Fire Rescue every day between 8 and 11 a.m. to let the department know that all is well. If Fire Rescue does not receive a call by 11 a.m., then a firefighter will call to check on the participant.

If there is no answer, a firefighter will go to the home to conduct a wellness check. This is a free service for any resident of the City of Albert Lea.
Please call the department’s business line at 507-377-4341 or email jlaskowske@ci.albertlea.mn.us if interested in signing up for this program.
