Prayers for a High Ridge Firefighter.
This morning, while performing a search for victims at a structure fire, a High Ridge firefighter was injured when the floor failed and he fell into the basement. He was quickly rescued by personnel at the scene and transported to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Congratulations Montgomery

Patrolman Jack Montgomery was presented with a Life Saving Award by Crystal City Police Chief, Chad Helms for measures he took during a vehicle accident. Patrolman Montgomery’s actions were praised by JPAD, Festus Police Chief, Tim Lewis and the hospital where the victim was taken. This is Patrolman Montgomery’s second Life Saving Award in less than a year! GREAT JOB OFFICER MONTGOMERY!!

The Crystal City Fire Department would like to thank the Jefferson R-7 Fire Protection District for allowing us to come down the last couple of weeks for training. Over the last couple of weeks your Crystal City firefighters have learned how to escape out of windows using ladders, how to remove unconscious firefighters and victims from burning building, how to use a Z-Rig which is a 3:1 mechanical advantage system used to remove victims that are down a embankment and lastly last night they learned how to use the T-Rex as a high point to remove patients that are not easily accessible.

One of our very own firefighters from Crystal City is deployed over in Europe for this Russian Ukrainian attack. Please keep him and the rest of the soldiers in your prayers.

Congratulations Festus Fire Department
