JNVFD is testing software that will allow us to send dispatch information for all 911 calls to our firefighter's mobile phones, pagers and email within seconds of being toned out by the sheriff's department. The message will be entered into a web based platform and sent immediately to our firefighters in the form of a text message. Each firefighter will be able to custmize which devices and email addresses the message is sent to. Since all of our firefighters carry mobile phones a majority of the time, we hope that utilizing this technology will eventually show to increase the number of responders we have at each call. We also anticipate seeing improved response times by using this software as an adjunct to radio dispatch. More updates to come.

Brush Fire Burns 30 Acres
TUSCOLA - Jim Ned and Buffalo Gap responded to a small grass fire off CR 150 near the overhead bridge today. The fire apparently began along the railroad right-of-way and moved north and east into thick mesquite and cedar. The fire was slow moving but took the better part of the afternoon to fully contain because of the terrain and limited access to the fire.
