Joaquin VFD Reports Two Calls; Hosting Blood Drive May 27

May 15, 2023 - Over the week of May 7th through 13th the Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department had just 2 calls. Here’s a summary of the week’s events.

Thursday morning at 12:03am a page was received for a fall patient at a residence on County Road 3485. The JVFD medical team responded but had apparently received the page late as Allegiance EMS had already checked out the patient and was clearing the scene.

Friday evening at 6:22pm a call came in regarding an elderly patient having a dizzy spell at a residence on County Road 3203. The JVFD medical team responded to assist Allegiance EMS with assessing the patient before determining if the patient needed transportation.

In other news, the Joaquin VFD will be hosting a blood drive Saturday, May 27th from 9am to 2pm at JVFD Central Station on the square in downtown Joaquin.
