Saturday, June 7 at approximately 12:23 am:
All BFR units were dispatched on
a report of a residential structure fire.
A BPD unit in the area was able to confirm an active fire at the location. E2 arrived first on scene to find a two story
residential structure with heavy fire on the rear of the structure along with
visible flames and heavy black smoke coming from the front of the house. E11 arrived on scene and assisted E2
personnel with deploying a pre-connected 1 ¾” hand-line while E2’s officer
performed a 360⁰ walk around of the structure.
Other fire units quickly began to arrive on scene and stretched
additional attack lines as well as establishing a connection to the fire hydrant. BFR personnel worked quickly and effectively
to extinguish the fire and keep it confined to one section of the house. Nolensville FD was requested to respond to
the scene to provide manpower for the overhaul process. With no further hazards found all units were
placed available and control of the scene was transferred to the Fire Marshal
for investigation into the cause of the fire.
Monday, June 9 at approximately 9:13 am:
E4 and R1 were dispatched on a
report of a MVA with injuries. R1
arrived on scene to find a three car MVA with multiple patients. BFR personnel quickly triaged the patients
and began treating the most severely injured patient first. E4 arrived on scene to treat the remaining
patient. Both patients were immobilized
to prevent further possible injury to their spine. EMS arrived on scene and both patients were
removed from the vehicle to the ambulance.
BFR personnel assisted EMS with further on scene care. The patients were transported emergency traffic
to a local hospital. Once all hazards
were addressed, control of the scene was transferred to BPD and BFR units
returned to service.

an otherwise uneventful delivery inside the residence. Immediately following
delivery of the child both mother and child were loaded into the ambulance for
transport to an area hospital.
