This past weekend, Ralston Fire & Rescue responded to a medical emergency involving an injured individual located in the creek along the Ralston Trail.

Upon arrival, Ralston PD & Ralston Fire & Rescue located the patient, provided medical care, and packaged the patient for removal from the creek. Due to the patient's location and the steep & rugged terrain surrounding the area, additional resources were needed to safely extricate both the patient and responders.

A mutual aid request was made to Papillion Fire for technical rescue. Personnel responded and assisted with establishing a low angle haul system, allowing for the safe removal of the patient from the creek.

Through the teamwork, training, and professionalism of all agencies involved, the patient was successfully extricated without incident.

Over the weekend, Papillion Fire responded to a mutual aid request by Ralston Fire & Rescue Inc. for a technical rope rescue. Incidents like these highlight the importance of maintaining specialized rescue capabilities throughout our region!

The reality of emergency services is that we train extensively for "low-frequency, high-risk" events because when they do occur, the stakes are incredibly high. Our communities need us to be ready, and is committed to ensuring our firefighters have the knowledge, skills, and equipment necessary to respond when called. We're proud to work alongside our mutual aid partners, and of the cooperation that allows us provide the highest level of service to you.

This past weekend, members of the Ralston Fire Department Honor Guard attended the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

This is a trip our Honor Guard participates in almost every year, but this year held special significance. Five members of the Honor Guard, along with family members of our late Honor Guard Commander Dave Shively, were in attendance for the ceremonies and events held throughout the weekend.

Ralston Fire & Rescue now has five bricks placed along the Walk of Honor. Over the past year, we added two new bricks, one in honor and recognition of Dave Shively and the other for our late Assistant Honor Guard Commander, Roger Hansen. This also marked the first time everyone was able to see the memorial bricks in person since their placement.

Dave and Roger attended the NFFF Memorial Service together for many years alongside many other Honor Guard Members. While this was the first year they were not physically present, their legacy and spirit will remain there forever.

Please note: Dave Shively’s years of service were unfortunately inscribed incorrectly on the memorial brick. A replacement has been ordered with the correct information; however, it was not completed in time for Memorial Weekend and will soon be replaced.
