Jefferson Volunteer Fire Company

The number of ambulance related calls in 2024 was 338. We also responded to 39 motor vehicle accidents, and 5 vehicle fires. We transported patients to Waynesburg PA, Washington PA, and Morgantown WV. IN addition to ground ambulance transportation, we also provided 8 helicopter landing zone setups at our high school football field, for those patients that needed to be air lifted to a hospital with a trauma center faster than ground transport would get them there. We also provide support for other area fire departments when needed and transported 139 patients from these assists.

In conjunction with our ambulance service, we offer first aid and CPR training in our firehall, and also have a special room dedicated to Emergency Response Training. 9 separate classes were held in 2024. Routine patient transfers are not handled by our department, as it removes our ambulance protection from the area for too long a period of time. We were also placed on standby for assistance to other neighboring fire/ambulance departments 3 time. We do have trained fire police that preform crowd aid and traffic control when needed. Of the 39 motor vehicle accidents in 2024, these members were instrumental in keeping traffic flowing while allowing our members to save lives. Our Department was also dispatched and preformed 2 pump details and 2 road obstruction calls this year. Our response crews feel that through their swift and trained efforts, many lives were saved in 2023, and related problems avoided.
