This morning, Lost Gap Fire & Rescue conducted truck familiarization training and spent some time preparing one of our members for upcoming skills testing at the Mississippi State Fire Academy.

We went over 2 minute drills and worked on getting each skill down safely, correctly, and within the required time.

Training like this is about repetition, preparation, and being ready when it counts. Good work this morning.

At approximately 11:00 AM, Lost Gap Fire & Rescue and Meehan Fire & Rescue were dispatched to assist Newton County with mutual aid for a reported possible 18 wheeler fire on the I 20 eastbound 121 MM on ramp.

Units responded and arrived on scene to find no active fire. Crews remained on scene until cleared by Mississippi Highway Patrol.

This is what mutual aid is all about. When a neighboring department needs help, we don’t look at county lines, department names, or whose call it is. We answer the call and stand ready to help.

Different departments. Different counties. One mission. When our neighbors need us, we show up.
