Prepared for Football Season!

Tonight, Lawsonville Fire Department, along with North Stokes Athletics, hosted a “Player Down” training class to help our first responders and athletic staff prepare for the upcoming football season.

The class focused on techniques for assessing injuries and stabilizing injured athletes, including sports equipment removal, spineboarding, patient movement, and proper lift techniques.

A special thank you to Jeff Hinshaw and his associates for providing an excellent training program and sharing their knowledge with our teams.

We also appreciate everyone who came out to train and help make this a successful evening:

When that whistle blows and the lights come on, being prepared matters. Our goal is to work together so that if an athlete goes down, we are ready to respond.

One Team. One Mission. Protecting Our Athletes

Chimney fire risk remains—even in springtime. Inspect, clean, and maintain your chimney to protect your home. Creosote buildup can ignite quickly. Install detectors and schedule regular maintenance.

Thank you to Lawsonville, Northeast Stokes, Francisco, Danbury, Patrick County VA, Stokes Fire Marshal Office, and Stokes EMS for their continued support.
