Welcome!Welcome to the home page of the Good Thunder Fire Department. Good Thunder, Minnesota is centrally located in Blue Earth County in southern Minnesota. Our territory covers the townships of Lyra and Rapidan, plus the western edges of Decoria and Beauford townships, and the eastern edge of Garden City township. The department has been in existence since 1896, and in 1996 we celebrated the Centennial by opening a brand new station on Main Street, the fourth occupied since the establishment of the Department. In these pages, you'll find some of our history, a lot of photos and information on the Department, its equipment and personnel. Enjoy your visit and come back often! To exchange links, please mail me at webmaster@northlite.net The chief may be reached at chief@northlite.net Patch TradingAt the present time, we do not trade patches. If this changes in the future it will be noted on this page. Thank you for your understanding. |
