Tuesday at 12:01 p.m. a page was received for first responders at the Orielly’s Auto Parts on the Haslam Strip for a person who had passed out. The JVFD medical team and Allegiance EMS were present on scene to get the patient the help they needed. 

Tuesday afternoon at 2:59 p.m. a call came in for a brush fire at the end of County Road 3341. The fire had been caused by a fallen tree in a power line right-of-way. The JVFD responded with a brush truck and were able to get the fire under control within about an hour. The electric company arrived shortly thereafter to cut the power and remove the tree from the line.

Wednesday morning at 10:15 a.m. a call was received for a DOA at a residence on Highway 84 East. The JVFD assisted funeral home personnel with removing the deceased from the home.

Wednesday afternoon at 1:29 p.m. the JVFD was called to a single vehicle accident on Connells Ferry Road. The accident was not severe and the driver was unharmed.

Wednesday evening at 4:18 p.m. a page was received for a person that had fallen down some stairs at a residence on FM 2787. The JVFD med team arrived on scene to help the patient until Allegiance EMS could arrive to transport them.

Early Friday morning at 12:02 a.m. a call came in for a vehicle that had left the roadway on Highway 84 East near County Road 3598. The driver of a white pickup had run off the road before briefly catching air and coming back down at the bottom of the hillside beside the road. The occupants of the truck were checked out by the JVFD med team and Allegiance, and found to have only minor injuries. When law enforcement arrived on scene they took over and allowed the JVFD to clear.

 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.
