We would like to take a moment to remind everyone to wear your seatbelts and drive with care.
Over the last couple of weeks, our firefighters and emergency responders have seen a significant uptick in vehicle accidents. We have responded to multiple rollovers—including two involving ejections that resulted in fatalities—as well as wrecks caused by inattentive driving. Recently, a deputy’s vehicle was struck while working an accident scene, and on August 19th, crews spent an hour extricating an individual from a crash.
Whether caused by impairment, distraction, or speed, many of these incidents could have been prevented. Please wear your seatbelt, stay attentive, and drive responsibly.
