Yesterday, Town of Berlin and Southington Fire Departments were simultaneously dispatched to Ragged Mountain for two lost hikers with a potential health issue. It was difficult to communicate with the patients due to a language barrier. Once the victims were determined to be in Southington, the command post was centralized there. The South Kensington Fire Department provided ten members who actively worked in the woods moving two patients who required rescue. SKFD, the Town of Berlin's other three fire companies, and our mutual aid partners worked tirelessly for hours in the snow and cold to remove the two patients. The patients, who could not speak English, were assisted by SKFD Firefighter Carlos Lorenzo. FF Lorenzo's ability to calmly and effectively communicate in Spanish was crucial to the rescue.

As we are forecasted to receive more than 12 inches of snow, keeping these clear can help prevent us from having to visit you.

The members were up this morning making sure our equipment was ready to respond through out the storm.

We had a visit from Girl Scout Troop 66272 last night! They created baskets for firefighters in appreciation of their service to the Berlin community. Thank you so much for the visit, girls!
