Throughout the month of August, our members completed JRPAT (Job Related Physical Ability Test) skills stations designed to reinforce the physical demands our Firefighters and EMTs could face on the fireground. Members worked through stations including stair steps, hose pulls, rescue drags, ladder raises, and SCBA air-management drills. These evolutions combine strength, endurance, and technique, all critical skills when operating in demanding emergency situations.

Teamwork Made the Dream Work!

Hemby Bridge Fire Department was proud to join Safe Kids Union County and several community partners at the Union County Human Services Community Baby Shower. Our Child Passenger Safety Technicians helped staff the car seat safety check station, ensuring families had the information they need to travel safely.

Remember, a properly installed car seat and a correctly secured child can make all the difference. And with summer temperatures still here, never leave a child unattended in a vehicle even for a minute.

We’re at the Union County Human Services Center today for the Community Baby Shower Event!
Whether you’re expecting a little one or already have a child, stop by and see us for important child passenger safety information and to have your car seat checked by a trained technician.
A properly installed car seat can make all the difference. We’re here to help make sure your child is riding safe, secure, and correctly every trip! Come by, ask questions, get your seat checked, and help us keep Union County’s smallest passengers safe! 💙
