Hattiesburg Fire Department to implement new alert system
SUMMARY: The Hattiesburg Fire Department is implementing a new alert system to enhance firefighter health and safety by reducing unnecessary overnight wake-up calls. Currently, all nine Hattiesburg fire stations are alerted for every emergency during the night, even if only certain stations respond. This often disrupts firefighters’ sleep, causing significant health issues related to sleep deprivation. The new system will limit alerts to only the responding stations, improving rest for others. Funded by Forrest County Emergency Management at approximately $97,000, the system aims to improve firefighters’ well-being, job performance, and family life. Installation is expected by year’s end.
