KINGSLEY, Iowa (KTIV) – A new fire and EMS building in Kingsley, Iowa has gone up. KTIV reports Francis W. and Annola M. Schweitzberger lived their whole lives in Kinglsey, Iowa, and frequently gave back to the community. Upon their deaths in 2001 and 2010, the couple left behind their beloved farm. Their will directed proceeds from the sale of the farm to the Kingsley Fire Department and Kingsley Ambulance service, which used the funds for a new fire and EMS building.

Along with local financial support, the two organizations now have a state of the art facility, and multiple new trucks and rigs. They officially called it home in early October, and this past week, allowed the community inside for the first time.
The groups want to thank their Kingsley community, and hope to forever honor the Schweitzbergers and their legacy.
