LOVILIA, Iowa — Firefighters walk off the job after they're told to close an emergency shelter in Monroe County on Tuesday night following an ice storm that knocked out power to many in the area.
The Lovilia fire station was set up as a warming center at the request of the emergency management director in neighboring Marion County. More than 3,000 people in the area had lost power.
Firefighters said they had no choice but to turn in their pagers after city leaders told them to close the shelter because it was a liability.
