Roanoke Fire personnel were called to assist a neighboring department in Whitley County at approximately 12:30 this afternoon for a reported structure fire. RVFD had an initial crew of 5 in route within 1 minute of being paged by Huntington County Public Safety Dispatch. RVFD provided an additional 8 crew members with 3 additional apparatus. Quick action by the initial attack engine and strong work by all departments on scene prevented serious damage to the residence. Strong mutual aid relationships are critical to rural, volunteer departments to muster the necessary manpower to deal with these types of emergencies. Thank you to Huntington Township Fire Department for providing standby coverage.

RVFD resources included:
Ladder 703 / Crew of 5
Squad 708 / Crew of 4
Grass Rig 706 / Crew of 2
Tanker 704 / Crew of 2

We hope everyone is having a fun and safe Labor Day Weekend!

Earlier today we were called for a medical emergency on US 24. A family member was trying to get the patient to the hospital when the front tire on their vehicle blew. The patient was transported emergent by ambulance to the hospital and we changed out the blown tire with the spare tire so the family member could get to the hospital.

We were called to the town park for a rescue today. Yes the joke of firefighters rescuing cats from trees is true. But the cat was very thankful that we are willing to put up with the hazing to help her out of the tree.

We want to thank the Town of Roanoke employees as well as many citizens that came out to help last night with clean up efforts after the storms rolled through. Although we made most every road passable, there is still quite a bit of debris in the roadways.

As you make your way out of your homes today, make sure to look for downed power lines as well. It is best practice to always assume downed lines are still energized. AEP is working to restore power to the localized areas of outage.

Give yourself some extra time getting around today.

To all the Parkview EMS staff, your friends at Roanoke Fire are here for you!
