Plaistow, NH — March 20th — Throughout the day, the Plaistow Fire Department's fire, ambulance, and ALS teams responded to 22 service requests. A trash fire that needed to be put out, a brush fire that endangered a nearby building, and multiple significant medical concerns were among the incidents. Each call was handled by EMS and firefighters using available equipment and coordinated response protocols. In dry weather, brush fires can spread quickly, so it's critical to act promptly to save surrounding structures.
Firefighters and advanced life support personnel who are trained to handle both medical and fire crises work in the department. Fast reaction times and well-equipped personnel, according to officials, helped manage every circumstance and deliver patient care as necessary.
