Well, we had us a little midnight run tonight! At 11:54 that little black box we all carry went off calling us to a local restaurant with a smoking ice machine. At 12:02 Engine 7 was in route with 3 firefighters on board to asses the situation. After an inspection with our thermal imager and turning off the breaker they headed back to the station thankful there was no fire. We all headed back home to our beds around 12:12.

We had an opportunity to do some really good training last night. We all gathered after work and on an extremely hot afternoon to take advantage of the opportunity. We recently put our new rescue truck in service so this was a really good time to get used to where everything is located on it. This is not something that we see wrecked often but some of us did one night a few years ago. We took full advantage of the afternoon learning and preparing ourselves in case we ever see it again. We were joined by a few firefighters from departments around us which was great, it is not uncommon for mutual aid situations to pop up in our county so training together is great! This ambulance now has a sunroof and an easy access door on the side! We would like to say a huge thank you to Trent and the crew at Southern Paramedic Service for helping us with this!

Well, our Saturday afternoon got interrupted by the pagers at 4:10. Fighting a fire in this heat is extremely tough on our crew but none of us back down from it. We were paged out to an illegal burn this afternoon and as usual we all showed up to go to work. We responded with Truck 1, Truck 7, Truck 4 and 6 firefighters. Truck 1 arrived first followed closely by truck 7 and those guys went to work. Truck 4 showed up and helped finish this one up. The pile of carpet, mattresses, and other illegal materials was put out and we headed back to the station to take care of our equipment. We got things taken care of and were back in service at 4:55.

Today’s rescue call started like all the others in the past. The tones dropped and the voice on the other end called for rescue. This automatically puts us in a completely different mind frame than other calls. We immediately know someone needs us there as fast as we can safely get there and ready to do everything we can to save them. We have to harness our adrenaline and get to the scene to go to work! We train hard for this but the truth is a mock scene, classes, or training scenarios don’t fully prepare us for the real thing.
Today it was different in one way. After 30+ years we geared up and headed to the scene in a new truck. Truck 2 has served this area for over 30 years as a lifeline to people on some of their worst days ever. That old truck has carried many generations of firefighters to scenes they will never forget and for a lot of people seeing that truck pull up gave them hope that their nightmare would soon be over because of that truck and the firefighters in it.
Brinkley Fire and Rescue has served as the only rescue unit in Monroe County for a long time and Truck 2 has been the backbone! As we pulled out of the station today in our new truck, Rescue 5, we left a legend at the station, once a workhorse just sitting there now with empty boxes and memories of lives saved, lives lost, and firefighters that gave everything they had regardless of the outcome.
The story has not completed ended for Truck 2 though. We will be attempting to convert it into a brush truck and keep it in service. There have been many firefighters in those seats and many lives saved by that old truck but it was time to give it a rest.

After the wreck early in the afternoon our crew all went back to their day but at 5:42 the pagers went to screaming again. These pagers usually make everyone in the room jump. Lol! We were needed just north of town for a car on fire. We responded with Truck 1, Truck 7, Tanker 343 and 7 firefighters. Truck 1 arrived on scene first, at 5:53 and let us know that there were no visible flames but something was too hot. Truck 7 arrived and went to work on cooling everything down. Something had caught on fire in the dash and was still smoking heavily. We got it all cooled down and we’re headed back to the station at 6:23 to take care of our equipment.

Today was a busy day for us, the heat made it even worse! We were paged out to a rollover wreck with entrapment at Henderson Corner around 12:26. We responded with Truck 1, Rescue 5, and Truck 7 with 6 firefighters in tow. Truck 1 arrived on scene at 12:31 to assess the situation. He informed the incoming crews that everyone was out of the vehicle but we were requested to continue to the scene for concerns that a fire may start. We picked a few out of the 6 responding firefighters to stay there and monitor the situation as the tow company went to work, the rest were sent back to the station. The scene was cleared at 3:22 and we were all back in service.

One lane is back open and they should have both lanes of highway 49 open soon.

Highway 49 South is shutdown at Henderson Corner in both directions. You will have to find an alternate route if you were planning on using it.

Help us wish Firefighter Timothy Threat a very Happy Birthday! We hope you have a great day sir!
