JVFD responds to three calls last week

The Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department (JVFD) responded to three calls the week of February 18 through 24.

Friday at 12:12 p.m., a call came in for a male involved in an ATV accident with a potential broken ankle. The JVFD med team responded to render aid before Allegiance EMS arrived. The ATV rider opted out of being transported by ambulance to a hospital.

Later Friday at 3:15 p.m., the JVFD received a call to help DeSoto Fire District 1 (DFD1) with a structure fire on Gum Street. At the time, DFD1 had another working structure fire on Day Road and requested Joaquin’s assistance with the Gum Street fire. The JVFD responded with a truck and extra man power.

Saturday at 1:33 p.m., a call came in for a grass fire near a home on FM 139. The page also stated the flames were traveling to other nearby properties. The combined efforts of the JVFD, Huxley VFD, and DFD1 were able to contain the fire.

That concludes this report. The Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department hopes everyone has a great and safe week ahead.
