This past Saturday, July 11, firefighters from across the region came together for a successful multi-department training exercise focused on strengthening teamwork, coordination, and rural water supply operations.

The training included 16 fire departments representing 6 different counties, with a total of 48 personnel participating. Throughout the exercise, crews drafted water directly from area ponds and flowed more than 53,000 gallons of water, providing valuable hands-on experience in rural water supply operations.

Training opportunities like this are essential to ensuring our firefighters are prepared to respond effectively when our communities need them most. We appreciate the dedication of everyone who participated and the departments that traveled to train alongside us.

A special thank you to Hugo Volunteer Fire & Rescue Chief Greg Johnson for setting up this training and everyone who helped make this training a success. Working together today helps us serve our communities even better tomorrow.

In honor of National EMS Week, we wanted to share a fact with you to highlight the hard work and training of the EMS employees at Lenoir County Emergency Services.

This year, Lenoir County Emergency Services saw a 700% increase in life saves. That’s right a 700% INCREASE!

How do we define a life save?

A life save occurs when a 911 call is placed to the Jones-Lenoir County 911 Center, Lenoir County EMS responds, provides critical life-saving interventions, and successfully transports the patient to the hospital where they ultimately recover and are discharged with little to no neurological deficits.
