Antelope holds annual dance celebration today Red Bluff Fire Department "Code 3" is the term commonly used by emergency personnel (Police, Fire, EMS) to indicate a rapid response to an emergency. A code 3 response requires the use of emergency lights and a siren on an authorized emergency vehicle. The extra time saved by responding code 3 could mean the difference between life and death for a patient or it can greatly min- imize the damage from fire. Although many calls do not require a code 3 response, the majority do. This places a great deal of responsibility on the shoul- ders of our fire crews to make sure that they safely arrive at the scene of the emergency and quickly tend to the needs of the situation. Driver’s training is a constant feature in the fire department. Even during a code 3 response our philosophy is to travel safely and cautiously. Special optical devices have been installed on the traffic signals on Main Street and Antelope Boulevard which change the sig- nals to our favor during an emer- gency, thus reducing the chances of an accident. However, in no way do these devices take any responsibility away from our fire crews; they must continue to oper- ate and handle all emergency vehi- cles safely with all consid- eration for other vehi- cles and pedestrians. We do ask that you always yield the right-of-way to any emergency vehicle which is responding code 3. Pull safely as close to the right edge of the road as possible and stop until all of the emergency vehi- cle(s) have passed. Please do not stop in an inter- section---continue through the intersection and pull to the right as soon as possible. If heavy traffic prevents you from pulling to the right, then just come to a safe stop and wait until all of the emergency vehicles have passed. From time to time it is neces- sary for our vehicles to use the wrong side of the street to contin- ue on our way to an emergency. We realize the great potential this has for an accident and will do so only after we are sure that oppos- ing traffic has completely stopped. So it is important for all drivers to stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Once we arrive at the scene of an emergency our crews will quickly take appropriate actions to deal with the sit- uation at hand but sometimes just getting to the scene can be a hair -raising adventure in itself. We are proud to serve the Red Bluff community and are always ready to respond. With the consideration and cooperation of motorists and pedestrians we can ensure that a quick and safe response will only help those in a time of need. RBFD responses for May 29 – June 3: 31 Medical Emergencies, 1 Traffic Collision, 7 Public Ser- vice Calls, 1 False Alarms for a total of 40 incidents. From the Firehouse runs on Fridays.
