fortunate enough to have this equipment on every ambulance.The Merriwether Fire Department has responded to 63 fires, 5 false alarms, 6 first responder calls, 18 mutual aid calls, and 11 others calls. Of the fires twenty-two were structure fires, thirteen vehicle fires, thirty-one brush fires, and six were arsons.  LEFT: Fireman Wes
