EAST OKTIBBEHA
VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

East Oktibbeha VFD is a 100% volunteer fire department located just outside of Starkville, Mississippi. We respond to appropriately 600 calls per year, making us the busiest volunteer department in the county. This video is a small look into some of the calls we respond to.

Being just outside of Starkville, home of Mississippi State University, we are blessed to have many college students in our department. At any time approximately half of our members are active students at Mississippi State.

***Building Collapse***

Earlier this afternoon East Oktibbeha VFD assisted Bell School House VFD with a building collapse. Two residents were inside when a storm hit the building and caused a partial collapse. Both were uninjured and able to self-extricate. East and BSH personnel completed a search of the building, rescuing multiple pets, and secured the utilities to the building.

East also assisted BSH with a tree fallen into a house. One patient was transported with minor injuries.

***Car Fire***

Yesterday at approximately 5:04PM East Oktibbeha VFD was dispatched to Pat Station Rd for a single car MVA with rollover. Upon arrival the vehicle was found on its side with heavy flames coming from the engine compartment. The driver was able to self-extricate through the driver door and was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. East units quickly extinguished the fire.

We are proud to serve the citizens of Oktibbeha County. Visit our website (link in bio) to find out more about volunteering with us.

***Propane Burn Training***

Earlier this week East Oktibbeha VFD participated in a county-wide LP Gas Burn Training hosted by the Mississippi Fire Academy. We always love to get out and train, especially when we can can get hands on! This was a great opportunity for our newer members who have not gotten to experience live fire.

*** Community Outreach ***

This week East Oktibbeha VFD participated in two community events. On Saturday we were at Sudduth Elementary for a large touch-a-truck event. We had a "Jaws of Life" demonstration and had an engine to show the kids. We also brought our engine to Starkville Cub Scouts Pack 14 to talk about fire prevention and show off some of our equipment.

Thank you to Sudduth Elementary and Starkville Pack 14 for having us.
