Did you know that May 18-24th is National Safe Boating Week?
The National Safe Boating Council and its partners kicked off their annual campaign to remind boaters to boat responsibly and to encourage everyone to wear a life jacket.
In 2017, the US Coast Guard reported 658 deaths in the US from boating incidents, with 75% of those deaths caused by drowning. Of those deaths, 85% are reported as not wearing their life jackets.
Your LOWVFD reminds everyone that just like a driver wears a seatbelt, a boater should wear a life jacket. This simple step may save your life or the lives of your loved ones. #safeboating
As we solemnly close out National Police Week we respectful transition into National EMS Week. Your LOW Volunteer Fire & Rescue personnel wanted to let everyone know that this year's EMS Strong campaign is: Beyond the Call. The annual campaign provides opportunities to recognize the EMS community so please take a moment to join us for our EMS Day this Sunday 12-4 to learn more about our department.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and departments nationwide were asked to join in a moment of silence to remember those in the fire and rescue services who we've lost to suicide and their families.
On Friday, May 17th at 9:00 pm Chief 29, Engine 29 and Squad 29 took part in this solemn remembrance ceremony by parking on our driveway and turning on our emergency lights for one minute to express support for all the families that have suffered a loss.
