Community Events

The Waukee Fire Department strives to be involved in the Waukee community throughout the year. The annual Fire Department community events offer residents the opportunity to meet the men and women who serve the citizens of Waukee through fire and EMS efforts. We hope to see you at the next community event! For more information, call 515-978-7998 or email.

Pancake Breakfast and Food Drive

The Waukee Firefighters’ Association hosts its annual Pancake Breakfast Event each spring at the Waukee Public Safety Building. This family-friendly event draws hundreds of residents who enjoy “all you care to eat” pancakes and sausage. Plus, kids can burn off all of that syrup-induced energy with inflatables and fire truck rides! Guests are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items or cash donations for the WayPoint Resources, formerly called Waukee Area Christian Services, Food Pantry.

Location: Waukee Public Safety Building, 815 NW 20th Street
Date: Saturday, May 16, 2026
Time: 7-11 a.m.
Fee: "All you care to eat" for $5; kids 4 and under are free
