This National Fire Prevention Month focuses on Lithium Ion Batteries. Watch what can happen in 1 minute.

Do you know the safest charging practices to prevent overheating leading to an explosion? ⬇️

+ Use the right charger: always use the original charger that came with your device or one certified by the manufacturer.

+ Charge on a hard surface: place devices on a hard, flat surface, not on beds, under pillows, or on couches, to prevent overheating and allow for proper airflow.

+ Avoid overcharging: unplug devices once they are fully charged and never leave them charging overnight.

+ Mind the temperature: do not charge or store batteries in direct sunlight, hot cars, or areas with extreme cold.

The Firefighter II class with @jh_fire_ems took their final written exam this week. Next week they will perform their skills exam. Wish them luck!

Last week @jh_fire_ems and @grandtetonnps teamed up to work on extrication strategies and skills.

Extrication training teaches emergency responders techniques and the use of specialized tools, like the “Jaws of Life,” to safely remove victims trapped in vehicles or other situations. Training focuses on critical steps such as assessing the scene, protecting the patient and rescuers from hazards, stabilizing the vehicle, and strategically cutting or spreading vehicle components to create an escape path. The goal is to quickly and efficiently free trapped individuals, especially in modern vehicles made with high-strength steels, complex electronics, and multiple airbag systems.

October is National Fire Prevention Month and this year’s focus is lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable batteries found in electric vehicles, laptops, cell phones, and more. After the Teton Pass crash in September, we received a lot of interest on WHY electric vehicles increase fire risk. Let’s explore the answer! ⬇️

When lithium-ion batteries are damaged or defective, they can enter a state known as thermal runaway, which is when the battery cells begin uncontrollably heating up. This reaction can spread from battery cell to battery cell and lead to a fire. Lithium-ion batteries can also release toxic and flammable gases that under certain conditions could lead to an explosion.

Since there is no way to know how much energy is still trapped inside a damaged battery even after a fire is extinguished—a concept known as stranded energy—the battery pack of an electric vehicle that has been involved in a fire can reignite days or even weeks after the initial incident, which poses a challenge for first responders, tow truck drivers, waste management and battery recycling center professionals, and more.

Stay tuned for more fire facts coming your way this National Fire Prevention Month. Curious about something specific? Send us a message!

Did you know that all of the officers in the @jh_fire_ems department are reading a leadership book called “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin?

Once a month they get together to discuss a chapter in the book. They hope to improve their understanding of great leadership to better tackle the challenges they face as a department and as individuals.

We here at the Foundation are grateful for their strong leadership in our community every day.

This season we have had 64 wildland fires in Teton Interagency Dispatch Area.

As fall begins in the Tetons, high wildland fire risk remains. Be sure to stay up to date on fire restrictions and enact best practices when you are spending time outdoors.

Yesterday @jh_fire_ems Stations 1, 2 & 6 practiced rescue methods for firefighters who have been injured or trapped and need to be extricated from a building that is on fire.

Who do you think had the slickest self rescue?

🔥 Overnight on Teton Pass: Just after midnight, a car-hauler truck crashed and erupted in flames about 100 ft off Hwy 22. One of the three vehicles onboard was electric, increasing the fire risk.

🚒 @jh_fire_ems firefighters quickly knocked down the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby trees and brush.

🚑 Sheriff’s deputies @tetonwysheriff and Fire/EMS personnel @jh_fire_ems located and stabilized the patient then transferred to Teton County Search and Rescue @tetoncountysar (TCSAR). The SAR team packaged the patient in a wheeled litter and used a 300-foot rope system to lower them down the slope to the Parallel Trail. From there, they transported the patient approximately a quarter mile to the Old Pass Road trailhead. The driver was treated on scene by @jh_fire_ems medics and then air-lifted by Air Idaho to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

🔥 A Teton Interagency Fire crew checked for hotspots early Tuesday, and @jh_fire_ems remains on scene for wildfire suppression and will assist with vehicle and debris removal. @wyominghighwaypatrol is currently investigating the incident.

🙏🏼 We’re grateful for the swift, coordinated response from all agencies involved in keeping our community safe.

Introducing the all new Type 3 Wildland Engine all thanks to the Betty B. Baril Fund whose generosity made this acquisition possible. 🚒🙌

The new apparatus will be located at Station 2 on West Street in Wilson and will significantly enhance the @jh_fire_ems department’s ability to protect critical Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas in the surrounding community. The new engine, which will be known as Brush 28, replaces the old Brush 28 which has been in service with @jh_fire_ems for over 20 years.

“This generous gift demonstrates the deep commitment our community has to public safety,” said @jh_fire_ems Chief Mike Moyer. “This donor’s support ensures our firefighters have the best tools to protect lives, property, and the unique landscape we all cherish.”

@jh_fire_ems looks forward to putting the new wildland engine into service immediately. 🔥

Foam application trainings are in full swing! 🫧

Foam is useful for several reasons:

+ it acts like a blanket to smother fuel and prevent vapor release

+ it reduces the surface tension of water to allow the water to penetrate the fire more effectively

+ it cools the temperature of the fuel and the surrounding surfaces

See you next Wednesday with more training updates from the @jh_fire_ems team!

Preparedness and partnership were the themes of yesterday’s MCI and extrication training. Jackson Fire/EMS station 1 & station 4 members and GTNP worked together on a mass casualty incident training involving a three vehicle accident with extrication needed for the nine people trapped. Sizing up the scene, calling for appropriate resources, extricating patients, providing care, and getting people to definitive care are all top priorities for team members in an incident such as this. We are grateful for the close partnership with our interagency partners as we serve residents and visitors alike over the 4,200 square miles in Teton County.

#jacksonholefireems #tetoncountywyoming #gtnp #tetons

Call volume increased for crews throughout May, marking the start of a busy summer season.

Call 911 immediately if any of these symptoms are present. Knowing the warning signs and catching them early can save you or someone you care about. Follow the link in our Linktree to learn more about symptoms.

Last week our new recruits completed their CPR certification, the first of many certifications they’ll complete over the next year. CPR skills allow our crews to be prepared in protection of the community. All members refresh CPR yearly.

On Thursday, the department had the honor of welcoming 6 of our newest volunteers to full member status. They have spent the past year training, gaining certifications, responding to calls and joining the career staff on shifts. Thank you all for sacrificing your time to protect our community!
