Winner of
the drawing for the
Grand Prize Motorcycle
held July 4th. Thanks to
everyone in the
community who
participated in the
raffle and supported the
Magnolia Volunteer Fire
Department's effort to
purchase new safety
equipment.
The Magnolia Volunteer Fire
Department has placed six (6)
New Ford Expedition Incident
Command Vehicles in service.
These new Command Vehicles
operate as the mobile Command
Centers used by our Incident Commanders
to manage the emergency incidents. They are equipped with new
mobile radios and a Strategic
Command Workstation that
includes tactical worksheets and
reference materials that the
Incident Commander may use to
control the emergency. As
requests for emergency response
to incidents are received, the
Command Officers respond to the
emergency incidents 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week with these
Mobile Command Offices that
contain files, reference
materials, emergency response
guide books, hazardous materials
data, emergency contact
information, health and safety
information, and emergency
access equipment. These
Mobile Command Offices include a
firefighter personnel
accountability system which is
used to track and enhance
firefighter safety while
fighting fires.
