LUVERNE, M.N., September 9, 2024 – For the seventh time in recent years Midwest Fire was named one of fifty winners in Prairie Business Magazine’s (Prairie Business) “50 Best Places to Work 2024” contest. The publication received nearly 2000 nominations from employees across the region for the award. 

“Minnesota is home to some of the biggest manufacturers in our country. As a small business, to be featured beside some of the best businesses in our state for the 7th time is a huge honor,” said Midwest Fire’s CEO Sarah Atchison. “I attribute our success entirely to our team in Luverne. Everything we do at Midwest Fire, from planning specifications, to building, to final delivery of the fire apparatus is a team effort, and we could not be successful without them.”

Prairie Business holds this competition each year to reward and highlight the region’s best places to work, based solely on employee appeal and nomination. Midwest Fire also received this recognition in 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023.  The award recognizes employee-nominated companies for exceptional benefits, work culture, general employee happiness and various other pull-factors that retain employees. The winners will be featured in the September issue of the magazine.
