Firefighters work to prepare for the unexpected in Oktibbeha Co.
SUMMARY: In Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, volunteer firefighters conducted essential tests on their truck pumps to ensure they are operational. On October 9, the firefighters checked the equipment, emphasizing that functional gear can be critical during emergencies. Patrick Warner, the county’s Fire Coordinator, highlighted that these annual tests are necessary for maintaining proper insurance ratings, which can lead to lower homeowners’ insurance costs for residents. The standard requirement is for pumps to deliver 1,000 gallons per minute at 150 PSI, reinforcing the importance of readiness in safeguarding the community.
