FIRE HILLBILLY JUNCTION

Post Mountain Fire Department along with other agencies responded to a series of fires sparked along the railroad track on Highway 59 South at Hillbilly Junction. A Staging area was set up at Hillbilly Junction by the US Forest Service and departments were dispersed to various fire locations along the track. Departments responding included Oklahoma State Forestry, US Forest Service, Stapp Zoe Fire Department and Hodgen Fire Department. The fires were fought by bulldozer, helicopter and backfiring.

Cabin Burns

Hodgen, Stapp Zoe, and Post Mountain Fire departments were dispatched to this structure fire on Mineral Springs Road at 9:45 a.m. November 9th. Firefighters arrived to a fully involved structure. The structure was being used as a cabin and no one was home at the time of the incident. The cause of the fire was unknown.

Mesothelioma, SCBA, and YOU

Firefighters encounter a variety of occupational hazards each day. Whether they are climbing tall ladders to rescue citizens from burning buildings or battling the heat of an intense fire, there is no shortage of dangerous situations for a firefighter. What they may not consider, however, are the dangerous health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Asbestos is a toxic mineral that was widely used in construction materials such as insulation, acoustical plaster, and roofing tiles. Asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma, a deadly form of cancer that affects the lining of the body’s internal organs and has no cure.
