🌎 International ShakeOut Day — October 15

On October 15, millions of people around the world will participate in earthquake safety drills at work, school, and home.

At 10:15 a.m. on October 15, take a few minutes to practice the recommended Drop, Cover, and Hold On procedure. It’s a simple way to prepare for an earthquake and know what to do when the ground starts shaking.

High Ridge Fire District encourages our community to participate and use ShakeOut Day as an opportunity to talk with your family, coworkers, and students about earthquake safety.

Learn more and find earthquake safety resources at shakeout.org.

🎀 High Ridge Fire Protection District — Breast Cancer Awareness Shirts

Every October, our crews trade their usual uniform shirts for pink shirts in support of breast cancer awareness. This year, you can wear one with us.

High Ridge Firefighters Community Outreach is selling limited-run breast cancer awareness T-shirts featuring our “Together We Fight” design. Proceeds benefit Gateway to Hope, a breast cancer lifeline that helps remove barriers to affordable, timely, quality breast healthcare through patient navigation, financial assistance, and community-centered support.

Gateway to Hope serves Jefferson County, making them a meaningful choice for this effort. Your support helps our neighbors access the care, resources, and assistance they need while navigating breast health concerns or a breast cancer diagnosis.

📱 Scan the QR code or use the link below to place your order before October 5th. This print run is limited, and we will contact you as soon as the shirts arrive in stock.

Last night, at approximately 10:50 PM, High Ridge Firefighters were dispatched to a confined-space rescue in the 300 block of Emerson Road. The 911 caller reported hearing someone calling for help from a storm sewer near that address.

When personnel arrived, rescuers were able to locate a male victim who had fallen through a stormwater manhole and was lying injured approximately 25 feet below ground. Rescuers entered the stormwater system, secured the patient with a basket-and-rope system, and successfully removed him from the pipe. He was ultimately transported to the hospital for treatment.

We want to thank Fenton Fire Protection District for their assistance in effecting the rescue, and North Jefferson County Ambulance District and Jefferson County Sheriff's Office for their assistance at the scene. This was a challenging and unique rescue scenario, but teamwork and training resulted in a safe and successful operation.
