Speaking of effort, how about ya guys making big steps toward bettering themselves, our county and putting our citizens first? 👏🏽
Did you know if a confined space rescue was needed in Muhlenberg, the closest CSRT is an hour away drive time? Now let’s put that into a real world scenario. You call 911, the incident is created and paged. Our crews immediately go en route, request our mutual aid partners at Bowling Green, Owensboro or Daviess County and confirm the incident. Now what? Usually, we’d assess the incident and wait until the guys show up and get to work while we assist. That could be over an hour, including the drive, mutual aid agreements and getting set up.
Not for long. 🙂↔️
Last week, some of your CCFD firefighters attended a Confined Space Rescue class.
With the purchase of equipment, revamping apparatus and adding new additions, and countless upcoming hours of tying knots, hoisting tools, dummy’s and fellow firefighters, your members will have a confined space rescue team.
We’re extremely grateful for our city administrators as well as the support from you, Central City.
There’s a lot happening behind the scenes, revamping SOP’s, creating policies, networking and collaborations; we’re just excited to show a glimpse of some of the work being demonstrated. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’re slowly getting there one step at a time.
Be on the lookout for grant announcements, new deliveries and a whole lot of training. We appreciate you, Central City.
