New JVFD Photographs
September 29, 2006
Photographer Carlos Garcia recently stopped by Station 1 and asked if he could take a few pictures. Of course the crew on duty (B shift) said that would be fine. What you see to the left is one of the photos to come out of that day. The photographs are beautiful and unique, and we are enjoying them very much. Check out the ‘photo‘ page for the rest of the pictures and thanks again Carlos for allowing us to share the photos on the site.Â
Vehicle / House Collision
September 21, 2006
‘A’ shift firefighters from station 1 responded to a “car vs. car vs. house” just before midnight on September 20th. Engine 34 arrived on scene to find a Camero that had collided with an Oldsmobile that was parked in the driveway of a residential structure. The impact of the collision forced the Olds into the house, knocking away masonry and causing damage to the structure.Â
Pin-in Collision
September 9, 2006
‘A’ Shift firefighters from both stations were awakened at approximately 0450 AM on September 9th for a collision at Anderson Mill and FM 620. Dispatch advised that a major collision was reported and that occupants were trapped inside the vehicle. Both engines and the rescue truck responded. First arriving Engine 38 reported a high speed collision between an SUV and a traffic light standard. The driver (the sole occupant) was unconscious and pinned in the vehicle.
