Lafayette County Fire Department Seeks Information on Power-Dependent Medical Devices

The Lafayette County Fire Department is requesting residents to fill out an optional form to identify households that rely on power-dependent medical devices, such as oxygen concentrators or ventilators. The department emphasizes that residents are not required to answer all questions and should share only what they are comfortable with.

The information aims to help emergency responders locate and assist residents during extended power outages. It will also assist in planning wellness checks and coordinating resources more effectively, especially in hazardous conditions, according to the department.

Fire officials encourage residents to share the form with neighbors, family members, or friends who depend on electricity-based medical equipment. The form link is available in the comments section of their post.
