The 2025 Hickman EMR class finished today with ski

The 2025 Hickman EMR class finished today with skills assessments, final tests, and even a helicopter tour.

Coble Fire has several members graduating in this class who will soon be responding to medical calls in our district.

We enjoyed the time we spent in this class with the other fire departments in this county and are appreciative of the great working relationships we have with the other emergency agency’s around us.

Coble Fire started the day off with 2 medical call

Coble Fire started the day off with 2 medical calls in our district and then met this evening for equipment checkoffs which we do twice a month. During the truck checks we were dispatched to a structure fire on Only Road. We responded immediately and had crews on scene within 9 minutes. Crews found an outbuilding fully involved and a second outbuilding was starting to catch fire. The home also had lots of heat and melted siding. We were able to quickly extinguish the fire and prevent further damage to the second shed and the home. I, as fire chief, am very thankful for the hardworking and dedicated volunteer firefighters we have here in Coble and for the community support and donations that allow us to keep trucks running and equipment maintained so that we can respond to calls like this and make a difference in the community.

It’s been a busy day in Hickman County. Coble Fire crews are responding to the third vehicle wreck of the day and also have crews working on scene of a home fire in Nunnelly. Since Hickman Rescue Squad crews were tied up on another structure fire, Centerville Fire responded to this fire for them and requested a tanker from Coble for water supply.

Coble Fire recently trained on vehicle stabilizati

Coble Fire recently trained on vehicle stabilization with our ResQJacks. These long struts help to stabilize vehicles that have been in a wreck and can even lift them to help us gain access to patients. But tools are only useful if you are proficient with them.

Coble Fire recently took advantage of having an under construction home to train in. The homeowner was generous enough to let us work on firefighter survival skills and bailouts. We want to make sure our firefighters can respond effectively if fire conditions rapidly change.

Yesterday morning, Engine 1, Tanker 2, and Rescue 2 responded to I-40 for a tractor trailer with its rear axle on fire. The brakes on both side had locked up and caught the back of the truck on fire. The driver was able to keep the fire from spreading with a small fire extinguisher. Coble arrived on scene and put the fire out and continues to cool the brakes with water. Once there were no other hazards, Coble Fire cleared the scene.

Coble Fire just cleared off of a vehicle wreck involving two tractor trailers on I-40 at the 155 mile marker eastbound. Paint containers were damaged and paint leaked onto the side of the highway. Fire crews dammed up the leaking product to prevent the paint from running into a nearby creek. THP and TDOT were on scene and an environmental cleanup company was called to mitigate the paint spill. One lane of traffic is still shut down so it would be best to avoid I-40 for the next couple hours.
