🚨Volunteers from Mt. High and Ricetown Volunteer Fire Department teamed up this week for some intensive, hands-on live fire and rescue training!🔥

Working side-by-side, our crews sharpened their skills, practiced critical search and rescue techniques, and pushed through the heat to ensure that when our communities need us most, we are ready to answer the call as one unified team.

Huge thanks to Alabama Fire College for bringing out their mobile training prop and West Blount Fire District - Hayden for providing top-tier instruction to keep our firefighters sharp, safe, and ready for action.

If Volunteering is something you may be interested in feel free to reach out for more information.

Please call 625- 4911 to report any trees down.

‼️‼️‼️ Weather Update for today! With the extra rain, the ground is really saturated, so be prepared and conscious while driving that we will probably experience trees down around the community. Everyone stay safe!

UPDATE: ROADWAY REOPEN

‼️‼️‼️ Please use caution in the area ‼️‼️‼️

This morning at approximately 2:40 am, we were called to the 2000 block of Arkadelphia Rd for a tree down. There are actually 3 trees down on power lines. We have the road shut down from the 4 way to Campbell's air field. Please avoid the area and find an alternate route and have patience with us. Crews have been out all morning, waiting on the power company to assist.

We'd like to thank Allen Armstrong for sending his guys from District 1 to also assist us.

We will update when it's reopen.

This week, many of our dedicated firefighters and first responders successfully completed their CPR certification and recertification courses. ✅

As volunteer first responders, keeping our life-saving skills sharp is not just a requirement; it's our deep-seated responsibility to you—our community. Every second counts during a cardiac emergency, and we are dedicated to providing the best possible care when it's needed most.

Thank you to our amazing instructors for a comprehensive and hands-on training experience! Let’s continue to make Mount High a safe and prepared place to live.

We had a great day getting out into the neighborhood to meet our amazing community members and helping make homes a little bit safer. 🏠❤️

Our team was busy installing brand new smoke detectors to ensure everyone has the protection they need. A huge thank you to everyone who welcomed us into their homes today!

Keeping our community safe is our top priority, and it all starts with prevention.
