JVFD October 29 - November 4 Report

Over the week of October 29 - November 4, the Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department had 3 calls. Here’s a summary of the week’s events.

Monday night at 9:36 p.m. a call came in for smoke in an apartment after the resident turned on their furnace. The resident reported that there was no active fire but was concerned that a fire might break out and requested that the JVFD check out the furnace. Members of the JVFD responded and found that some components of the heater had burned up causing the smoke, but there was no further danger of a fire starting.

Later Monday night at 10:41 p.m. another call was received for a single vehicle accident at the Sabine River bridge. The driver of a white sedan had run off of the road just before the bridge and traveled down a hill, colliding with some large rocks. The driver was unharmed in the accident and declined medical attention, meanwhile the vehicle sustained damage to the front end but was otherwise still operational. 

Thursday morning at 8:04 a.m. a call came in for a 2 vehicle accident in front of Whataburger. The driver of one of the vehicles had turned in front of the other causing the collision. No life-threatening injuries were reported as a result of the crash but the occupants of both vehicles were checked out. The JVFD was on scene to provide traffic control until the vehicles could be removed from the roadway.

With that, this edition of the report will come to a close. The Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department hopes everyone has a great and safe week ahead.
