Lawrence County Fire & Rescue has unveiled an innovative traffic incident safety initiative aimed at enhancing the safety of responders during high-risk situations while also working to minimize the occurrence of secondary accidents. This groundbreaking program marks a significant first for the state, setting a new standard in traffic incident management.
The funding necessary for the development and implementation of this program was generated through various fundraising events organized by first responders over the past few years. This collaborative effort highlights the commitment of the community to ensure the safety of both emergency personnel and the public.
The initiative will primarily be staffed by dedicated volunteers from the Box 50 Team, who have been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. With the launch of the program anticipated in the coming days, it promises to make a meaningful impact on the safety protocols surrounding traffic incidents in the region.
