Orlinda Volunteer Fire Department Recognized for Excellence ( A LIFE SAVED! )

The City of Orlinda is proud to acknowledge the Orlinda Volunteer Fire Department for the recent recognition and award bestowed upon it by the Children’s Emergency Care Alliance of Tennessee at a May 4, 2022 ceremony held in Nashville, TN.

CECA is a statewide agency that works with all levels of medical providers and EMS agencies and personnel across TN. Once a year they host a banquet to recognize excellence and outstanding performance by emergency medical professionals in scenarios where their actions demonstrate a high quality of care that resulted in a positive outcome for one or more critically injured children. The following is a description of the events for which the Orlinda Fire Department received this award and recognition:

Family Of 5 Face Serious Injuries After Back-To-Back Rollovers Sunday 

On June 20, 2021, the Orlinda Volunteer Fire Department had responded to and were working the scene of a one-vehicle rollover accident (FULL STORY) that had occurred on the southbound side of I-65 near mile marker 115. Just as they were completing their work on that accident, a utility truck that was driving past the scene failed to notice that traffic ahead of him had stopped for construction. As a result, that truck rear-ended a passenger car filled with a family of five on their way to church. This was a horrific collision at interstate speeds that caused the passenger car to be destroyed and everyone inside to be injured, some critically. Without detailing each passenger’s injuries, suffice it to say that they all had injuries requiring emergency medical care, transport, and treatment at area hospitals. But the worst injuries were those to an 11 year old child passenger who had critical, life threatening injuries that most certainly would have resulted in death were it not for the quick and effective treatments provided by the Orlinda Volunteer Fire Department and Robertson County EMS.

In fact, when Orlinda Firefighters began emergency treatment just moments after the crash occurred, the child had no vital signs- meaning he was clinically dead. Emergency treatment was initiated including CPR.

The proper and speedy use of CPR allowed the boy’s brain and vital organs to remain oxygenated and sustained until the treatments being administered were finally able to restart his heart and lungs, essentially bringing the child back to life. While all this was going on, the Orlinda fire fighters/first responders had the presence of mind to call for Vanderbilt Medical Center’s LifeFlight helicopter for emergency air transport of the patient. Because of their skilled care and fast response, this 11 year old child’s life was saved and he and his family were able to attend the May 4 ceremony and personally thank the Orlinda Fire Department personnel who had worked so hard and saved his life.

While Orlinda currently has 10 outstanding fire fighters and medical responders on staff, on the day of this accident it was Fire Chief Dusty Johnson, Assistant Fire Chief Nancy Johnson, Lieutenant Josh Lackey, and firefighter Aden Miller who were on scene that day and therefore received this special recognition.

Orlinda is very fortunate to have such skilled and devoted emergency response professionals. Please remember that these are the people who get up in the middle of those cold, wet winter nights to go and help you and your family in your time of need, or who come and rush into your burning house if you or your loved ones are trapped. Our firemen spend countless hours training, practicing, and getting certified just so they will be prepared if and when you need them. The City of Orlinda thanks each one of them and is very proud of the recognition they received in this case. If anyone reading this sees one of our fire fighters, please be sure and thank them for their service and congratulate them for the aforementioned award they received on May 4, 2022.

-Kevin Breeding Orlinda City Manager

Important messages from the Portland TN Fire Department…

Two Recent RECALL Alerts…

FORD MOTOR COMPANY RECALLS CERTAIN 2021 MODEL YEAR FORD EXPEDITION AND LINCOLN NAVIGATOR SUVS FOR POTENTIAL UNDERHOOD FIRE CONCERN

Ford 2021 Ford® Expedition SUV
Ford 2021 Lincoln® Navigator SUV

May 19, 2022

DEARBORN, Mich., May 19, 2022 – Ford Motor Company is advising customers of certain 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs – built over a four-month period between late 2020 and early 2021 – to park their vehicles outside and away from structures while Ford investigates the cause of under hood fires.

Responding to 16 reported incidents, Ford is recalling 39,013 Expedition and Navigator SUVs in the U.S. built between Dec. 1, 2020 and April 30, 2021. These vehicles may pose a risk of under hood fire, including while the vehicle is parked and off. As of Ford’s filing with NHTSA, there have been no reported incidents with vehicles built before or after these dates.

Ford, which began investigating the issue on March 24, 2022, has not yet established a cause. The incidents are believed to originate in the rear of the engine compartment near the passenger side of the vehicle.

Fourteen of these incidents occurred on vehicles owned by rental companies (across multiple locations) and two were retail customer vehicles. Of the 16 incidents, 12 reportedly occurred while the vehicle was parked and off, one reportedly while the vehicle was parked and on, and three reportedly while the vehicle was in motion.

Ford is treating this recall with a high sense of urgency and will communicate to customers – via FordPass and Lincoln Way app and mail – as soon as it finalizes the list of owners and addresses within the recalled vehicle population.

Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving vehicles under this recall and is not aware of any accidents related to this issue. The company is aware of one reported injury.

“We are working around-the-clock to determine the root cause of this issue and subsequent remedy so that customers can continue to enjoy using their vehicles” said Jeffrey Marentic, General Manager, Ford Passenger Vehicles. “We recognize the importance of staying in touch with our customers until we resolve this matter.”
