🌎 International ShakeOut Day — October 15

On October 15, millions of people around the world will participate in earthquake safety drills at work, school, and home.

At 10:15 a.m. on October 15, take a few minutes to practice the recommended Drop, Cover, and Hold On procedure. It’s a simple way to prepare for an earthquake and know what to do when the ground starts shaking.

High Ridge Fire District encourages our community to participate and use ShakeOut Day as an opportunity to talk with your family, coworkers, and students about earthquake safety.

Last night, at approximately 10:50 PM, High Ridge Firefighters were dispatched to a confined-space rescue in the 300 block of Emerson Road. The 911 caller reported hearing someone calling for help from a storm sewer near that address.

When personnel arrived, rescuers were able to locate a male victim who had fallen through a stormwater manhole and was lying injured approximately 25 feet below ground. Rescuers entered the stormwater system, secured the patient with a basket-and-rope system, and successfully removed him from the pipe. He was ultimately transported to the hospital for treatment.

We want to thank Fenton Fire Protection District for their assistance in effecting the rescue, and North Jefferson County Ambulance District and Jefferson County Sheriff's Office for their assistance at the scene. This was a challenging and unique rescue scenario, but teamwork and training resulted in a safe and successful operation.

Remember those we lost.
We will never forget.

Today, we pause to remember the lives taken on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away.

We remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.

A big thank you to Tactical Judo Solutions for providing three outstanding training sessions for our crews!

A large portion of the training focused on immobilization techniques for the confined environment of an ambulance, addressing both responder self-defense and the prevention of patient self-harm. These practical skills give our crews additional tools to safely manage challenging situations while protecting themselves and their patients.

We appreciate Tactical Judo Solutions for helping us continue to train, improve, and be better prepared for the situations our firefighters and paramedics may face.
