It was a beautiful day for hose testing. We planned a day to work through all our large diameter supply lines as it takes a bit more effort and time vs all our smaller attack lines. Some departments choose to hire this out, but then you miss out on all the wonderful team bonding 😅

Departments are supposed to annually service test all their hoses to get ISO credits. Insurance Services Organization is an outside group that audits fire departments for items like training, maintenance, and pre-planning records. The credits they give you get turned into your rating. That rating then is typically used by most insurance companies as part of determining your monthly rate.

So while not the most fun way to spend our time, it is important that we complete that task

🚧 Bell Rd Bridge Update at Duck Creek 🚧

The contractor has completed pile driving for the bridge foundations on both sides of Duck Creek on Bell Rd.

Crews are now placing rebar and forming the pile caps, with concrete expected to be poured later this week. Once the caps are complete, the bridge beams will be shipped to the site and set in place, with bridge deck work to follow shortly after.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as improvements continue on Bell Rd! 👷‍♂️

Our thoughts go out to our neighbors in Barry County.
Russell Yarger will be missed.
Godspeed!

It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of Russell Yarger. Russ served our department for over 50 years filling the positions of firefighter, chief and lastly fire board president. Rest In Peace Brother, we will take it from here.

CTFD members trained on ice water rescue techniques Tuesday evening.

The warm weather last week removed a fair amount of ice accumulation on local lakes and ponds, triggering area departments to hone our rescue skills.

As of 9pm Tuesday 2-24-26, Morrison Lake had water around inlets and edges with around 4” of ice off shore where we were training.

Ice around open water is soft and unsafe.
