Carroll County Rescue Squad

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our member James (Jim) Bays. Jim was retired from the Navy, and moved to West Tennessee. Jim began volunteering in Carroll County with the Carroll County Fire Department Station 5, and became a member of the Carroll County Rescue Squad member in 2016. Jim exemplified what it means to be a member by his commitment and contributions and eagerness to always learn and help his community. We ask that you pray for his family and friends during this difficult time.

Lots of great things happening for the Carroll County Rescue Squad this weekend!

Trevor Foster, Logan Ledsinger, Noah Maxwell, John Cameron Norwood, and Justin Abbot traveled to the Hiwassee River and continued their advanced training in swiftwater and are all now Swiftwater 2 technicians. This is a first for Carroll County to have this level of trained personnel in place to help protect our communities in the event of flooding and fast moving water generated by storms.

Member Andrew Taylor traveled to Sparta Tennessee to attend a Low Angle Rope Operations course to advance his skills in rope rescue. These skills are valuable in times of lost persons, accidents where the patient may be down a ravine, or any place rope access is a necessity.

Our Captain Curt Taylor was the lead instructor for the Low Angle Rope Operations course. He volunteers his time and spends many weekends training our local crews and other rescuers across Tennessee.

The courses are offered through the Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads. Your donations allow us to send our members to these valuable training courses to better serve our community!
