JVFD August 6 - 12 Report

Over the week of August 6 - 12 the Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department had four calls. Here’s a summary of the weeks events. 

Sunday night at 9:12 p.m. a page was received for a person feeling nauseous and sick at a residence on Stone Street. The JVFD medical team responded with Allegiance EMS to help the patient.

Tuesday afternoon at 1:21 p.m. a call came in for a 2-vehicle accident in front on the Brookshire Brothers on Highway 84 East. A black SUV struck the side of a blue pickup truck, causing the SUV's airbags to deploy. The driver of the pickup was unharmed but the SUV driver was checked out by EMS. The JVFD provided traffic control until the vehicles were able to be removed from the roadway. 

Early Saturday morning at 12:56 a.m. the JVFD was called to put out an electric pole that was on fire on FM 3082. The electric company had already come out and disconnected the power.

Saturday evening at 6:38 p.m. a call came in for a person who had fallen at a residence on County Road 3187. The JVFD medical team responded with Allegiance EMS and it was discovered that the patient laid outside on their concrete driveway for some time after falling, and may have suffered some minor burns as well. The patient was later transported by ambulance to an emergency room. 

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.
