NEW APPARATUS ALERT!

On Monday, we placed our new squad 119 into service, replacing our old rescue. This truck now serves as a multi-purpose truck, able to respond to medical emergencies, brush fires, and PI crashes, providing a faster response for all types of emergencies.

The truck is a 2026 F350, equipped with a 300GPM pump and a 200-gallon water tank. It also has 150ft of 1 3/4 quick-lay hose and 200ft of 1” booster line. Additionally, the truck is equipped with a Stokes basket to transport patients from rural areas to an ambulance and is outfitted with cribbing and our Combi tool for quick extrication on car accidents. The truck features a plow that will be used to clear the station, saving money, and patient driveways on medical calls.

This truck comes at no cost to taxpayers, as Bellevue, Convis, and Assyria Township agreed to fund it through the Fire Board's savings account. Our Assistant Chief and Lieutenant outfitted the truck, saving thousands of dollars in mechanic fees by utilizing new and existing equipment.

We thank our Fire Board and personnel for funding and assembling a truck that enables us to better serve the community!

Yesterday was a busy one for Bellevue Fire. To start the day, our new Squad 119 was placed into service. We then responded to 7 calls. These calls stemmed from cardiac arrest to CO alarm activation to PI crashes to medical emergencies. We also had to fit in our monthly training and meeting.

During our training, Bellevue Fire was dispatched to Assyria Township for a PI involving an ATV with pediatric patients involved. Bellevue Fire responded with 17 personnel and 5 apparatus. Among those included our UTV and new Squad. En route, BFD requested dispatch to put a helicopter on standby. Barry County dispatch then advised that Aero Med was launching. There was difficulty locating patients due to the crash occurring on a trail to a campsite. The family was able to flag down BFD and lead them to the patients. The patients were back in the woods a ways on a two-track trail. Brush 118, new Squad 119, and UTV 117 were able to make it down the trail a ways, and then the UTV was the only vehicle to make it the entire way to the patients. BFD began treatment on two patients, ages 16 and 11. One patient was in and out of consciousness. Nashville EMS arrived on scene and made their way back to the patients and BFD to continue ALS treatment. The first patient was brought out to the road for Life EMS to provide treatment and transport. A landing zone was established for Aero Med across from the campsite. The second critical patient was brought to the road with the UTV and straight to the helicopter crew. Both patients were transported to Grand Rapids children hospital for further treatment, one via ground ambulance and the other via helicopter.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family for a full recovery of both patients.

Bellevue Fire was assisted on this call by: Castleton Maplegrove Nashville Area EMS, Life EMS Ambulance, Nashville Police Department, Barry County Sheriff's Office, Barry County Central Dispatch, and Corewell Health Aero Med

Yesterday, around 16:00, Bellevue Fire was dispatched for a small structure fire in Convis Township. 101 arrived first to find a 10x12 shed with smoke showing. The shed was about 2 feet from a camper and about 5 feet from the garage connected to the house. Engine 112 arrived on scene and stretched a cross lay. Crews found that the fire was under the flooring of the shed, working its way to the interior. The floor of the shed was cut to gain access and extinguish the fire. The shed suffered floor damage, with all contents being removed with only light smoke damage. The camper and garage sustained no damage.

Bellevue Fire was assisted by Marshall Township Fire Department, Marshall Area Fire Fighters Ambulance Authority, and Calhoun County 911 - Michigan
