OOT On January 24^th, Project FOOT came to Company 4.

Project FOOT is a project to raise awareness for veteran’s causes. To do this, Mac McQuown, a 50 year old retired Marine, is walking to every state capital in the United States. This journey will last in excess of 5 years and cover more than 15,000 miles.

On Tuesday, Namozine proudly had Mac stay the night after he finished his day’s walk and prepared for the next leg of the walk. It was quite an honor to play a small part in his endeavor and we wish Mac a safe and prosperous journey as he works to help our Nation’s soldiers. We thank Mac for sharing his trek with us and hope that we did not disturb his rest too much when a chimney fire call caused a bit of commotion.

Please check out his Facebook page (Mac McQuown) and also visit Project FOOT’s web site at 

Be sure to check out Mac’s footwear for the trip and the story behind it…

At 0531 hours on January 20th, a structure fire dispatch was issued for a single family residence. Initially, the occupants were unable to be located and first arriving units began rescue mode operations. Once located at a neighbor's home, operations transitioned into an offensive attack to control the fire that had self-ventilated through the roof. As reported by local television news reports, a substantial volume of contents hindered extinguishment operations. Despite the heavy fuel load, the fire was limited to the kitchen, living room, and the attic directly over those two areas. 

Chesterfield Engine 8 and Medic 8 deserve a special thanks for their quick response and great work. Also responding to the fire were units from Ford Company 2.

At approximately 1830 hours on Monday the 16th, a vehicle fire was reported at the gas station closest to Company 4. Fortunately, the fire began just after leaving the fuel pumps. Engine 4 was quickly on location and the incident was soon under control with no further damage except to a nearby vacuum cleaner. 

Quick. Before you get busy checking out the rest of our site please take a moment to go to our guest book. Just click the link on the menu and say hello. We enjoy hearing from all of our friends and neighbors, so please let us know who you are and then come by the station to visit some time.
 

On 12/23/11 a southbound vehicle left the roadway and struck two trees before overturning and coming to a rest. The driver was wisely wearing a seatbelt and did not require medical transport.
