Grover police, fire departments join forces
to provide more protection for community
eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com
Grover Police and Grover
Rural Volunteer Fire depart-
ments have joined forces in
obtaining and maintaining new
emergency equipment, which
will provide extra service and
protection to the Grover com-
munity.
Police Chief Tommy Carroll
said that they now have an AED
(Automatic External
Defibrillator). Collaborating
with the fire department, the
police have now made the life-
saving device fully-operational.
“The AED is beneficial if, say,
somebody has had a heart
attack and they haven't been
down longer than five minutes
or so,” he said, opening the
device's red case. “It tells you
everything you need to do.”
He added that the AED may
really come in handy if he or
Cpl. Todd Martin are the first
responders on the scene of a
cardiac arrest. The AED, which
sends an electric shock to the
heart, is commonly used among
first responders to save lives.
“Having this is a benefit for the
citizens of this town,” Carroll
said.
Grover Fire Lt. Bill Moore
said that if the police chief or
Martin are already on duty, they
could arrive at the scene faster
than dispatch could get others
out. Therefore, it is imperative
the police are equipped with
these life-saving tools. GRVFD
also has AEDs on a few of their
trucks, making both depart-
ments prepared for a cardiac
emergency.
Chief Carroll said that anoth-
er new piece of equipment they
have is a medic bag, chocked
full of basic emergency medical
supplies. “As long as I am on
duty I can beat them to a scene.
So by having this, it’s really a
positive aspect for the town,”
he said. “With the medic bag we
have equipment that we can use
until EMS arrives that will help
with the load time of a patient
in desperate need of emergency
care. This will also help EMS
workers.”
In a joint effort, the fire
department maintains the
upkeep of Carroll's emergency
“equipment. “I want to be able to
work together well with all of
the departments. That's what
I'm trying to do and I think it’s
working out good so far,” he
said.
“In a state of emergency, this
will quicken response time,”
Moore said about their depart-
ments’ collaboration. “That's
the biggest thing as far as med-
ical calls, especially if it’s some-
thing severe. Response time is
just about everything.”
“I'd like the community to
know that if they have an emer-
gency that we're going to be
there united and prepared,”
Carroll said.
