We want to thank everyone who came to our annual Christmas Party at Station 1 last night. It was a great night of fellowship and great food, thanks to Reggie Watson who provided pulled pork, ham and broccoli salad, along with Brittany Galloway who provided some amazing desserts! It was also a chance to recognize some of our Members for their accomplishments. Natalie Sharp and I taught our first EMR(Emergency Medical Responders) Class, and as a result we had 6 students who passed and are now EMRs. John Jones, Shay McCarra, Devon Mizell, Alisa Fritz, Garland Provost, and Joshua King are our new EMRs which brings our total count to 12 along with two EMTs. Shay McCarra is also the only certified diver in the Parish, and he has utilized his skills when responding to emergencies and even assisting with the proper installation of our two new dry hydrants, so we are fortunate to have him on our Department. We also recognized our Firefighter of the Year, Eric Garlepied, for his willingness to step up and respond as our Assistant Chief. Eric’s location makes it possible for him to make it to scenes sooner than some of our other members, and he has been a tremendous help when our numbers are slim due to members who are working during the day. We appreciate him and all of our Personnel who respond in a moments notice for the members of our Community and beyond. I am beyond grateful to work beside these dedicated Men and Women, and I appreciate everything they do to make our department great!
