12:44 Today: WPFD was dispatched to a vehicle fire near the 4600 block of Garrison Road this afternoon that involved a Waste Management truck. The cause appears to be mechanical and our crews were able to extinguish the fire and get the road open shortly after. No injuries were reported. We also do not have info about trash pickup past this point on the driver’s route but hopefully, another truck is located to pick up the remainder of their Thursday route.

Welcome Aboard! Class 2022-A started Rookie Training with us this weekend and began a journey to become Certified Volunteer Firefighters. The folks began with our Intro and PPE classes to better understand fire itself and our role to play in making it go away from things we don’t want to burn. They also got hands-on with the protective equipment we wear that shields us from bad things both hot and not. There are more training challenges to conquer but it is a great start to the learning that these neighbors have undertaken.
