We responded to a mutual aid call for Springdale VFD for a house fire.
We responded to 2 house fires. One of those fires, we asked for mutual aid from Springdale VFD, and Rescue Squad to refill our air tanks.
We responded to 1 vehicle accident.
We received most of our grant items from Jerry Moat. The rest will come later. We will spend the entire $5000 on equipment. Our equipment is on the table for all to see.
At the monthly Chief's Meeting, we were told they are in the process of getting another class started for Firefighter 1 & 2.
We were informed we now have 2 fire hydrants in our district. One in front of two gas stations, and one in front of Dogwood Heights Baptist Church.
Four fire fighters will be attending classes in Pigeon Forge on March 1 & 2. Reservations are made but we have not received word yet on what class we will get to take.
We received the countywide grant. Each department will receive 3 mobile radios and 4 hand held radios. We will need to replace 8 pagers by 2009 to meet the narrow band system. (9-1-1 will be switching to narrow band the first of 2009). Five of our newer pagers can be reprogrammed to narrow band.
Respectively submitted,
Austin Sandefur, Chief
