Video capture from first arriving crew on the house fire this Sunday.

***First Due Fire***

At approximately 2:37am this morning East Oktibbeha VFD was dispatched to Woodland Spur Rd for a possible structure fire with smoke showing. Engine 591 responded within 90 seconds of dispatch, arriving five minutes later. First arriving crews confirmed a working fire with heavy fire conditions in the attic. The fire was started by lightning striking the building. The resident was alerted to the fire by smoke alarms and was able to evacuate. Crews worked through a thunderstorm to control the fire within an hour of arrival. East remained on scene for another hour to overhaul the structure and extinguish hot spots. We are proud to serve the citizens of Oktibbeha County.

EOVFD thanks Bell School House VFD, @starkville_fire_dept E3 and MedStat EMS for assisting.

***Extrication Training***

This week East Oktibbeha VFD worked on vehicle stabilization and patient extrication. Our members were able to get some hands on training with our @tntrescuesystems
"Jaws of Life" including our new electric set. All three of our engines carry this equipment to assist in removing patients from significant motor vehicle collisions.

This training was one of our twice monthly department-wide trainings, but our crews also train throughout each week. We take pride in training our firemen to provide quick and efficient life saving and fire protection services.
