🚒☀️ Johnson Creek Fire Department Community Safety Tip ☀️🚒

With temperatures and humidity on the rise, the risk of heat-related illnesses increases quickly. Please take a few simple steps to stay safe:

💧 Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
🌳 Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning if you’re working or spending time outdoors.
👕 Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10 AM and 4 PM.
👶🐾 Never leave children, older adults, or pets in a parked vehicle — temperatures inside can become deadly within minutes.
👵 Check on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone without access to air conditioning.
⚠️ Know the signs of heat illness:

* Heat Exhaustion: heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, weakness
* Heat Stroke: confusion, loss of consciousness, hot dry skin, or a body temperature above 104°F

If you suspect someone is suffering from heat stroke, call 911 immediately and begin cooling measures while help is on the way. Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and look out for one another this summer.

🚒 Line of Duty Death Notification 🚑

It is with profound sadness that we announce the Line of Duty Death of Assistant Chief Matthew Anderson.

For over 32 years, Matt dedicated his life to serving others through Fire and EMS. His career began in Maple Bluff, where he earned his EMT-B certification and started a journey that would touch countless lives. Throughout his distinguished career, Matt proudly served with Madison West Ambulance, Curtis Ambulance, Bell Ambulance, Hartland Fire Department, Lisbon Fire Department, Ryan Brothers Ambulance, and the Johnson Creek Fire Department.

In 2012, while serving with Hartland Fire Department, Matt earned his Paramedic certification, further demonstrating his commitment to providing the highest level of care to those in need.

Matt was more than a firefighter, paramedic, and officer. He was a mentor, leader, teacher, and friend. He embodied the true meaning of brotherhood and dedicated countless hours to helping others succeed in the fire and EMS service. He was known for his quick wit, endless sass, and perfectly timed one-liners that could bring a smile to anyone’s face, even on the toughest days.

For more than seven years, Matt courageously battled colon cancer. Despite the challenges he faced, he continued to answer the call, serve his community, mentor future generations of firefighters and EMS providers, and give back to the profession he loved so deeply. His strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication inspired everyone around him.

Matt’s impact on the fire and EMS community cannot be measured. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched, the providers he trained and mentored, and the friendships he built throughout his career.

He leaves behind shoes that can never truly be filled, but his lessons, leadership, and memory will remain with us forever.

Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with Matt’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that you keep them in your hearts as they navigate the days ahead. Please know that your fire and EMS family stands beside you, and Matt’s legacy will never be forgotten.
