Rescue Squad Week
This week, we recognize the dedicated men and women of rescue squads across Tennessee and beyond who answer the call day and night — often without hesitation and without recognition.

From vehicle extrications and water rescues to search operations and disaster response, rescue squad personnel stand ready to serve their communities during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Thank you to every volunteer, career responder, family member, and supporter who makes this mission possible. Your commitment, sacrifice, and service do not go unnoticed.

Join us this week in honoring our rescue squads and the lifesaving work they do every single day.

To the Leaders and Members of Our County Emergency Service Departments,

On behalf of the Chester County Rescue Squad, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated in our recent Basic Vehicle Extrication Class.

A special thank you goes to the City of Henderson Fire Department for allowing us to use their classroom facilities to host this training. Your hospitality and support are greatly appreciated.

I would also like to thank the Henderson Fire Department, Chester County Fire Department, Enville Fire Department, Milledgeville Fire Department, Medical Center EMS, and Hi-Way Wrecker Service for their participation and teamwork throughout the class. It was great to see multiple agencies come together with a shared goal of learning and improving together.

Training like this is essential in helping all of our departments work more effectively together on emergency scenes, regardless of agency affiliation. The professionalism, teamwork, and dedication shown by everyone involved truly reflect the commitment each department has to serving our communities.

Thank you again to all of the departments, instructors, and participants who helped make this training a success. Your continued support and commitment to working together are greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Captain Faulkner

On Friday, we replaced our oldest unit after more than 20 years of service. Our new-to-us vehicle, a 2014 Ram 2500 4x4 (Rescue 1), has already been hard at work—providing access to warming centers and assisting our citizens since 6:00 a.m. Saturday.
As we continue operations tonight, we want to extend our sincere thanks to all our volunteers and Chester County Fire Dept for their dedication and support to the community over the past several days. Everyone has done an outstanding job working together as a team.

I'm sure I missed someone but just know they are working hard with little sleep.

With that being said we are under an Extreme Cold Warning until noon tomorrow. We will see 0 or less lows and windchill factors of -16 degrees which can cause hypothermia and frostbite if exposed for even a short period of time. Check on your neighbors from time to time and be sure to have a heat source that is safe. Pray for these I mentioned that they stay safe as they work to restore our quality of life that we sometimes take for granted. Please use caution around any trees or powerlines as they have the weight of the ice on them, they can snap and fall on you at any moment. This is a deadly situation that has hit our area.

The Chester County Rescue Squad is pleased to announce the transfer of a rescue truck to the City of Enville Fire Department. This expansion will strengthen county-wide coverage and improve response times for our citizens.

There are no winners when it comes to speeding. It wastes more gas, lowers vehicle control, reduces the effectiveness of seat belts, and puts everyone on the road in danger.
