Over the weekend, local emergency services were inundated with calls, starting on Friday afternoon with a structure fire at an apartment complex in Lawrenceburg, alongside a motor vehicle accident that resulted in injuries within the West End Fire District.
The activity did not let up on Saturday, as emergency personnel were dispatched to a series of injury-related crashes and critical medical emergencies that arose across the county.
Sunday morning brought further challenges, as crews were called to assist with a structure fire at a residential board-up in the City of Saint Joseph. The day was marked by a series of urgent medical incidents that demanded immediate response from the teams on the ground.
During the firefighting efforts in Saint Joseph, local residents stepped up to support the first responders by providing ice and water to help alleviate the oppressive heat. Several coolers were strategically placed at the scene to ensure that personnel could stay hydrated while working under such strenuous conditions.
Emergency officials took a moment to acknowledge and express gratitude for the remarkable community support that was evident throughout the weekend’s demanding operations.
