Last night, August 6, at 12:05 am, our firefighters were woken from sleep, and just 5 minutes later, Myers Flat engine 6930 responded to a call for a single vehicle rollover accident on highway 101 just south of weott. We arrived at scene to find a pickup truck smashed to pieces blocking the northbound lane, airbags deployed with parts spread all over the highway. 2 lucky passengers were already out of the vehicle and although shaken and scared, recieved mostly minor injuries. We were able to help them while waiting for the ambulance to come and transport. Afterwards we assisted the tow company removal of the vehicle from the highway, ran traffic management, and cleared the road. Back to the station by 1:30, and back in bed by 2:25. At 5:30 am we were woken again by the radio with a call for a man suffering chest pains and trouble breathing. We arrived at scene 7 minutes later and provided aid and oxygen until ambulance crews arrived. Back home again by 7:15 am. At 9:30 we all arrived at our station to clear out and clean our apparatus bay to set up for the monthly food bank (food for people) we host at our firehouse the first Thursday of every month. From 10:30-2:30 we worked alongside community volunteers preparing and distributing food bags to the community. At 8:45 pm, after just getting ready to call it a day and get to bed, we recieved another call of a person suffering a medical emergency and within 5 minutes were back in the truck, racing to the location. Made it home by 11:45. This is just an example of the commitment, dedication, and sacrifice our volunteers make everyday. We are proud of each and everyone of them for what they do for our community. If you would like to tell them yourself its easy, this morning early, they're all back at the firehall training. Or tomorrow, they will be back again by 9 to set up for a long day of Saturday barbecues.
