Happy Thanksgiving friends. Be safe!Happy Thanksgiving friends. Be safe!

Since the beginning of this horrible ordeal we, along with our brother and sisters departments, have remained open. We have adjusted how we respond, how we drill, and how we do all our work. But know. We are still open, we are still working, and we are still there for our community. ... If you have been thinking, how can I help? What can I do? Come be a part of our family. We need you more then you know.

Last night we held a drill. We set up two scenarios concerning traffic safety. First we set up to allow a single lane of traffic to go by a scene. Second we closed off the road. Take a look and think which one provides the most safety to all. We know when you come to a road closer it can be added stress to your day. We do not make the choice to close the road to cause any problems but to allow for a safer working area for fire, EMS, law enforcement, and those in the emergency. Please consider this next time you come to a closed road.

When we enter the Firehouse we have access to an assortment of PPE. If not already wearing one, we put on a mask and gloves. All members wear a mask until they put on their SCBA. We have gowns available if we are helping EMS. Upon returning to the station we wipe down all the tools, equipment, and apparatus.

Thank you to all Veterans who protected this great nation. We are honored to have in our ranks those who came home and continued to serve in their community.
