The JVFD was called Tuesday of last week to assist on a structure fire in Logansport. Multiple Fire Districts from DeSoto Parish were also on scene ensuring that the fire was put out.
Over the week of January 7 through 13, the Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department (JVFD) responded to one call.
Tuesday evening at 6:38 p.m. a call was received requesting mutual aid on a structure fire in Logansport. When the JVFD arrived on scene, much of the fire within the structure had been extinguished, so they assisted with efforts to save personal belongings from smoke and water damage. Multiple Fire Districts from DeSoto Parish were also on scene ensuring that the fire was put out.
Three other pages were received throughout the week, but were resolved shortly after, so no action was required by the JVFD.
In other news, the Joaquin VFD will be hosting a political rally for all the candidates running for public office in Shelby County on Saturday, Jan. 27 in the Joaquin ISD cafeteria. The department will be serving hamburgers at 6 p.m. and the rally will begin at 7p.m.
All candidates and community residents are welcome to attend. Candidates will be given an opportunity to speak and following their speeches, a time for questions. Each candidate is encouraged to bring a cake or baked good to auction off after their speech as well.
That concludes this edition of the report. The JVFD hopes everyone has a great and safe week ahead.
