This weekend our Charlton firefighters stayed busy with many Founder’s day events!

Our firefighters provided an EMS standby for the 5K race, served food at the Party in the Park, hosted a recruitment booth at the Farmer’s market and participated in the parade.

Thank you to everyone who supported our department. & thank you to our members who put in so many hours of work to make this weekend successful.

Last week, we took possession of our new medical response unit. This vehicle, MED-183, will be going into service in the coming weeks and will replace our 2001 EMS vehicle.

With about 60% of our call volume being EMS calls, our medical response unit is our busiest apparatus. This is a huge asset to our community as it quickly gets our paramedics and EMTs to medical calls quickly and efficiently to provide life saving treatment.

Last nights weekly drill was a tour of the Charlton Historical Society’s schoolhouse and museum buildings. We try to do a few building tours each year so that we can update pre-plans on buildings within our district and allow our personnel to familiarize themselves with a building before we have an emergency at that location. Thank you to the Charlton Historical Society for accommodating us and providing the tour!

Last nights training was hydrant and pump operations. Firefighters worked to secure water supply while pumping water to a hose line and deck gun. Training like this is critical in ensuring firefighters can quickly get water on a fire.
