The old lady surprised they got rid of her
Yesterday, Engine 7308 responded to a reported structure fire in the county, to assist Rural Metor. Units noticed a dark column from the city, with information of a garage being fully involved. Engine 8 arrived first on scene and deployed the 2.5” hose, The Eraser, to quickly knock down the bulk of the fire before it could spread into the main house. There was a 1/2 acre grass fire that was handled by ODF. #keepinggrantspasssafe #iaff3564 #orfirefighters Rural Metro Fire - Josephine County Oregon State Fire Fighters Council
This morning, just before 0800, engine 7308 was dispatched to a small vehicle fire. Arriving units discovered that it was not a vehicle that was on fire, but a large pile of cardboard. 7308 and mutual aid crews extinguished and overhauled the pile. Traffic was effected on Hwy 238 during the incident, but is back to normal now. #keepinggrantspasssafe #iaff3564 #orfirefighters @orfirefighters
This evening Grants Pass Firefighters responded to a Small Vehicle Fire at a storage facility on Union Avenue. Battalion 4 arrived to a single pick-up truck, fully involved, with an immediate exposure to a storage building. Crews made a quick knockdown and prevented spread to the adjacent structure. No injuries have been reported. Mutual aid companies also responded to assist. #keepinggrantspasssafe

The Grants Pass Technical Rescue Team trained with Medford Fire Rescue at two Jackson County locations today.
The specific discipline was Tower Rescue, involving rescue scenarios simulating the rescue of cell tower workers. Both Jackson and Josephine Counties have many cell towers in their response areas. #keepinggrantspasssafe #mutualaid #techrescue #local3564 #iaff3564 @medfordfirerescue @orfirefighters @ Medford, Oregon
