The burn is a yearly process to help have a better regrowth of the natural prairie grass that is grown there. This procedure also helps get rid of any invasive species in such as the dogwood trees. Parks and Recreation Superintendent Kelly Bach told KCAU 9 that when scheduling a prescribed burn, it all boils down to the weather conditions. 'When you do prescribed burns, you know in a larger scale like this, we put together a burn plan,' Bach said. 'We consider wind, where the smoke is going to be. Also with humidity, lower humidity things burn a little better so there's a lot of considerations' Story continues below Top Story: More than $40K raised from 11th Annual Pete Goede ALS Benefit Concert Crime: Dumped dog gets rescued, now happily wagging his tail Sports: Bishop Heelan boys and girls track win MRAC Team titles Bach said they were hoping Thursday would work for the prescribed burn but that wind and humidity were working against them.

Highway Helper is a private business contracted to the Iowa Department of Transportation. They were already serving four other communities in Iowa, and started serving the Sioux City area this past Wednesday 'There was a demand here. They approached the D.O.T. and we were actually able to kind of look at the data, the traffic volume. What is law enforcement going out there is it the debris or other?' added Hochberger. 'Calls that maybe Highway Helper could assist with so that it frees up law enforcement and then our maintenance personnel. The data proved that it's definitely it warranted Highway Helper here.' Story continues below Top Story: More than $40K raised from 11th Annual Pete Goede ALS Benefit Concert Crime: Dumped dog gets rescued, now happily wagging his tail Sports: Bishop Heelan boys and girls track win MRAC Team titles The service runs Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. There are two trucks on the road during those hours and there are four full time drivers employed.

'We get them moving quickly. We keep them safe; we keep them in their cars. We do the work while they stay in their cars safe. Our truck protects them and kicks the traffic over if we have to and then gets them on the road as quick as we can,' said Travis Schooley, Program Manager for Highway Helper. Highway Helper services include: Debris removal Traffic control Checking welfare Tagging abandoned vehicles Providing fuel Providing directions Jump starting Motorist transport Push/pull vehicles Repair flat tires Highway Helper is contracted with the Iowa DOT to serve the Sioux City area for three years, then that contract can be renewed.
