Thomasville Fire Rescue has implemented changes since the coronavirus pandemic. Interim Fire Chief Tim Connell said they’ve added a few safety precautions. They’re doing this to keep their staff safe while still serving the community. Connell said 911 dispatch asks specific questions when receiving calls. He said dispatch will then let them know if there are any red flags before going out on the call. If there’s a possibility the patient may be infected with COVID-19, Connell said they will use necessary precautions when coming in contact with the patient. Connell said they are also changing things in-house. Staff will now come into work in normal clothing and after their shift, they will leave their uniforms at the station to be cleaned for their next shift.
