Taylorville Fire Department Returning To Normalcy Following Pandemic

The pandemic may have shut down a lot of aspects of life, but some had to persevere. Emergency services couldn’t stop what they do, because emergencies weren’t going to go away. They did have to adjust a lot of what they were doing, but then again, who didn’t? Taylorville Fire Chief Matt Adermann says they are looking forward top opening some things back up to the community again, such as their CPR program.

 

 

Chief Adermann has been in his position since November of 2019 and he was forced to make adjustments very quickly when the pandemic hit. As of now, he says they’ve made some beneficial changes he feels are going well.

 

 

They’ve incorporated technology in many different aspects of their work, including out in the field.

 

 

By nature, those in the fire department were at a higher risk of exposure to coronavirus. Chief Adermann explains that because they are emergency medical services too, their risk was even higher.

 

 

Chief Aderman appeared as a guest on the WTIM morning show.
