Joaquin VFD Reports 2 Medical Calls for the Week of Feb. 5-11

February 13, 2023 - Over the week of February 5th through 11th the Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department had just 2 calls, with both coming in on Wednesday. Here’s a summary of the week’s events.

Wednesday morning at 7:51am the JVFD was called to assist with a potential DOA on the Doogieville Loop. It was quickly discovered that this was the scene of a crime and a investigation was opened by law enforcement. At this point there was not much that the JVFD could do and they were cleared from the scene. The suspect was brought into custody later in the evening.

Later Wednesday night at 8:58pm a call would be received for a diabetic patient possibly going into a diabetic coma on Childress Street. Members of the EMR team responded to check out the patient and Allegiance EMS arrived shortly thereafter. The patient was then loaded into the ambulance where they could be transported to a nearby emergency room. 

With that, this report will come to a close. The Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department hopes everyone has a great and safe week ahead.
