Volunteers, off-duty crews step up to cover overlapping Blackfoot emergencies

The Blackfoot Fire Department is applauding the quick action by off-duty firefighters and volunteers after multiple emergency calls stretched its resources to the limit.

"Without the willingness of these members to interrupt their lives and drop what they are doing on their days off, there would be severe gaps in coverage of fire and EMS," wrote the Department on Facebook. "As always, we are proud to serve the citizens of Blackfoot and Bingham County!"
