(From the Springfield Fire Department)
Rescue Company 1 is officially in service. The apparatus was put into service on September 8th following a traditional wet-down ceremony dating back to the late 1800's. More details and a photo from the ceremony is including in the Springfield Fire Department's Quarterly Fire Safety Report (QFSR). The report highlights updates from the Department during the third quarter of 2017.
Along with information about the wet-down ceremony, the QFSR includes details on calls for service during the 3rd quarter and an update on Project RED Zone, the Department's program aimed at ensuring all Springfield residents have working smoke alarms. During the third quarter, the victim of a house fire credited a smoke alarm installed during Project RED Zone with notifying her of a fire in the apartment above her. More than 1,000 alarms have already been installed as a part of Project RED Zone, as the program moves into Heart of the Westside neighborhood during the fourth quarter of 2017.
