Mason Sieck loved riding in a fire engine and hanging around the Grinnell Fire Department. In fact, the 7-year-old had his own turnout gear, with boots and a fire helmet with his name on it.
“When the pager went off, he would have his full set of gear on before I could get my shoes on,” said Mason’s dad, Curtis, who volunteers with the department. “It didn’t matter what the page was for, he wanted to help people.”
Mason comes from a long line of firemen: His grandpa, Scott Sieck, and two great-uncles all serve on Grinnell s department; his mom, Shanna, said other relatives have served on the Brooklyn and New Sharon departments, too.

Work continues in all committees, and on the floor of the House. We have taken up several key pieces of legislation on the floor early, a departure from my experience in the past. I commend our House leadership, Speaker Grassley and Majority Leader Windschitl, for boldly bringing debate to the floor quickly on these issues. On Wednesday the House passed HJR 5, the amendment to the Iowa Constitution that corrects the Iowa Supreme Courts error in declaring the Iowa Constitution guarantees a right to abortion. The vote was 55 -44, the measure now goes to the Senate. Once passed by both chambers the measure will have to be passed again in the 2023 or 2024 session in order to be ready for a vote by the citizens of Iowa in the 2024 general election.
