Iberia Parish Fire District #1

This morning B-shift accompanied our volunteers from the departments within our area with a training on drafting and water shuttle.
By doing these trainings we are able to become more proficient in our water supply and be better prepared for fire scenes in the event we would use our drop tanks or have to pull from a static water source. Our volunteers are vital in our response to supply us with the necessary water supply and man-power we need for most fire emergencies.

We appreciate their time and for taking steps to further their knowledge and for all of us to work together diligently. Always striving for better!

Today is International Firefighters Day. We would like to extend our gratitude to every firefighter for their commitment to the job, and for answering the call.

A special thank you to the men and women of IPFD #1, who show up each day with unwavering dedication to helping and serving their community and to improving the future of our department. We appreciate the sacrifices you make day in and day out selflessly, and are grateful to have each and every one of you.

THANK YOU!

Last night our crew on shift alongside Rynella VFD attended the “Light the Night” event Community First Bank does. Every year for one week they will light the bank red in remembrance of fallen firefighters.
We appreciate their involvement they take in this week, and look forward to it each year!

Iberia Parish Fire District purchased 4 new portable pumps to be installed on our tankers at our volunteer stations. The volunteer stations that house our tankers are called to every fire we respond to. Having these new pumps placed on the trucks will drastically improve our efficiency on the fire ground, allowing us to better serve the public of Iberia Parish in the event of a fire emergency.
We are always striving towards better and towards improving our abilities and equipment always.

The portable pumps we purchased are Honda GX340, with a 500gpm capability.

🚨BURN BAN🚨
Iberia Parish is now currently under a burn ban. Due to the current drought conditions, wind conditions, and low humidity this makes for the fire dangers to increase drastically.
Refrain from burning anything outdoors. Even in fire-pits, as wind conditions can cause the fire to spread rapidly.
This does NOT include supervised outdoor cooking and agricultural burning that follows State mandates. Please be mindful when cooking outdoors for an elevated and controlled setting.

We appreciate your cooperation, stay safe.

We are all watching and monitoring the weather conditions we are expecting this weekend. While there are many uncertainties, we can prepare for freezing temperatures and moisture Sunday into Monday.
Iberia Parish has declared a State of Emergency following these weather updates. As we are aware weather can be unpredictable and can change overnight. Knowing what we know right now a few reminders to keep thought of..

-Roads will be hazardous Sunday evening going into Monday morning. If you do not need to be on the roads we advise to stay home and stay off of the roads.
-Remember smart and safe usage of space heaters. Do not plug them into surge protectors. Plug them directly into a wall outlet. Keep them flat on the floor off of furniture, and away from curtains, blankets, etc.
-If you have outdoor pets bring them indoors or have a comfortable and warm place for them to be.
-Be mindful of generators. Do not run them indoors. Keep generators at minimum 20 feet away from the house and in an open area to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
-Cover any exposed pipes/faucets to prevent busted pipes.

Again, we strongly urge to have everything you need prepared and ready before the cold arrives. We will be fully staffed and ready for any and all emergencies that may come.

Stay safe.
