0728hrs (7:28 AM)

Austin Fire received a call for a vehicle vs. deer near Hwy 34 and Road 71N

Fire Chief Zacharias was in the area and attended the scene shortly after dispatch, and determined a full response was not required. All other members stood down and returned to the hall

No injuries occurred during the incident

Tuesday's meeting/training night was spent pressure testing hose and making sure our truck radios were functioning properly.

While we are enroute to calls, radios are key pieces of equipment to keep all members informed of the situation that lies ahead. Being able to communicate properly and effectively helps responding members not only physically prepare for a call, but also mentally.

A call can be very different from what is originally dispatched, so communication is key!
