đźš’ CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONDERS! đźš‘

The McNairy County Fire Department would like to congratulate the newest group of students on their successful completion of the Initial Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) Course!

Each student successfully completed the 60-hour course, including the required hands-on skills training necessary to prepare them to challenge the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) examination.

Upon successfully completing the NREMT examination and obtaining their certification, these individuals will be able to take their training and knowledge into their communities and serve others in their respective capacities.

We are especially proud to recognize five members of the McNairy County Fire Department who successfully completed this training:

đź‘Ź Kevin Cribley
đź‘Ź Sandra Buehring
đź‘Ź Tessa Shurtz
đź‘Ź Connor Bushart
đź‘Ź JC Learue

We are excited to see each of you put your new skills and training into action as you continue serving the citizens of McNairy County. Your willingness to take on additional training and responsibilities demonstrates your commitment to making our community safer.

We also want to extend a HUGE thank you to Alex Hill, Samantha Woody Tyler, and Nicole Sweeney with Baptist Ambulance for dedicating their time, knowledge, and experience to this group throughout the course. Your investment in these students will have a lasting impact on the communities they serve.

To all of the students—congratulations on reaching this important milestone! We are proud of your hard work and dedication, and we wish each of you the very best of luck as you prepare to take your NREMT examination!

Congratulations, and thank you for choosing to serve!

Multi-Agency Response to Highway 57 Incident

On Friday, August 21, at approximately 8:45 a.m., McNairy County Fire Department Station 33 and Station 1 were dispatched to an 18-wheeler rollover in the area of the 7500 block of Highway 57 West in Ramer.

The McNairy County Sheriff’s Office and Tennessee Highway Patrol were notified simultaneously and responded to the incident.

Due to the nature and location of the incident, the Tennessee Department of Transportation responded to the scene and implemented a temporary closure of the affected portion of Highway 57. Traffic was rerouted from the area to help maintain a safe working environment for emergency personnel and the public.

Hi-Way Wrecker Service was requested to assist with the recovery of the tractor-trailer. Due to the condition and contents of the trailer, portions of the load had to be offloaded before the vehicle could be safely recovered.

McNairy County Fire Department personnel remained on scene until approximately 1600 hours, assisting with scene operations and ensuring the area remained safe while recovery efforts were completed.

We appreciate the cooperation and professionalism of all agencies and personnel involved in the response. Incidents of this nature require coordination among multiple departments and agencies, and the combined efforts of everyone on scene helped ensure the incident was managed safely and efficiently.

Agencies involved included:
• McNairy County Fire Department
• Mcnairy County Sheriff's Office
• Tennessee Highway Patrol
• Tennessee Department of Transportation
• Hi-Way Wrecker Service
• McNairy County Emergency Communications (911)
• Baptist Ambulance

Does your family have a fire escape plan for your home?

Home fire escape planning and drills are an essential part of fire safety. A home fire escape plan needs to be developed and practiced before a fire strikes. Home fire escape planning should include the following:

-Drawing a map of each level of the home, showing all doors and windows.

-Going to each room and pointing to the two ways out.

-Making sure someone will help children, older adults, and people with disabilities wake up and get out.

-Teaching children how to escape on their own in case you cannot help them.

-Establishing a meeting place outside and away from the home where everyone can meet safely.

If you need assistance with mapping out a fire escape plan specific to your home, please visit our website at www.mcnairycountyfire.com and send us a message. We will gladly come by and walk you through your specialized plan, step by step.

On Tuesday, August 18th, at approximately 1330 hours, McNairy County Fire Department Station 11 was dispatched to the area of Refuge Road for a reported potential vehicle fire.

Upon arrival, Station 11 Command advised dispatch that a round baler had unintentionally ignited a nearby hay field. Approximately one acre of the field and a dozen hay bales were involved. With several acres of standing corn on both sides of the fire line, firefighters immediately went to work to prevent the fire from spreading.

The farmers assisted firefighters by pulling the burning hay bales from the field and placing them into the previously burned “black,” helping to contain the fire and prevent further spread.

Through the quick response and coordinated efforts of firefighters and the farmers on scene, the fire was brought under control with no further loss reported.

The fire was determined to have originated from a seized bearing on the round baler, which generated enough heat and sparks to ignite the cut hay.

We would like to thank the farmers for their assistance and cooperation during the incident. Teamwork helped prevent what could have been a much larger loss. MCFD remains ready to answer the call and proudly stands by our farmers.

đźš’ HAPPY NATIONAL VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS DAY! đźš’

Today, we proudly recognize and celebrate the dedicated men and women of the McNairy County Fire Department who selflessly volunteer their time to serve and protect our communities.

Whether responding in the middle of the night, leaving family gatherings, missing holidays, training countless hours, or answering the call during fires, medical emergencies, storms, and other disasters, our volunteer firefighters are always willing to step forward when their neighbors need them most.

Their commitment cannot be measured simply by the number of calls they answer or hours they serve. It is reflected in the sacrifices they make, the families they leave at a moment's notice, and their willingness to put the needs of others before their own.

To every firefighter who answers the call, supports their fellow firefighters, trains to be better, and serves McNairy County with pride:

THANK YOU.

We are incredibly proud of each of you and deeply grateful for your dedication, sacrifice, and service to the citizens of McNairy County.

Please join us today in thanking the men and women who proudly answer the call and help keep our communities safe.

❤️🤍💙 THANK YOU, MCNAIRY COUNTY VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS! 🚒🔥
