Mowbray Volunteer Fire Department

Mowbray Volunteer Fire Department recently responded to a motor vehicle accident requiring vehicle extrication.

Thanks to the quick actions, training, and teamwork of our firefighters, the extrication was completed in just 7 minutes from the start of extrication operations.

In an emergency, every minute matters. Our members continually train to ensure we are prepared to respond quickly, work safely, and provide the best possible service to our community when it matters most.

We are extremely proud of the teamwork and professionalism demonstrated by everyone involved and would like to thank HCEMS medic 12 crew and Hamilton County Sheriff department and Tn state parks

Saturday morning training at MVFD and some special guests dropped in. Thanks to the flight crew at Erlanger LifeForce for not only a great tour of the helicopter but a very informative classroom presentation as well.

This afternoon members of Mowbray Fire attended LIFE FORCE Air Medical training. This is a training we do every 2 years so our firefighters understand how they can assist Life Force in creating landing zones and communication needed to provide the safest and best patient care. Thankfully it’s not a resource we use often but it’s important to be prepared for anything. Thank you Life Force for providing this amazing training at no cost to local fire departments!

Barker camp access is closed at this time as well. Please respect the closure and the private property owners in that area!

🚧CLOSED TO ALL ACCESS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!🚧

Our Barker Pounds Trailhead is undergoing construction at this time, but we are still seeing visitors trying to access the trail. For the safety of our guests, we have closed off the trailhead and parking lot up to the entrance of the area. Prior to the entrance is private property and any vehicles found alongside the road will be towed.

All backcountry campsites are closed during this time, too. Updates will be provided once they have reopened. Thank you!

Today we take a moment for the loss of such an amazing woman. With that great loss we ask everyone to who loved Dolly to always keep her voice in the back of your head to live,smile, and give love as she did. May we all carry a little piece of Dolly to share with others. If everyone had the heart and drive like Dolly our world would be a much happier place. Do something or say something today to bring a smile to someone in honor of Mrs Dolly Parton today ❤️
