If you’re involved in a car crash in Williamsburg and pinned inside your vehicle, then Williamsburg Fire and Rescue should now be able to get you out a bit faster thanks to some new state-of-the-art equipment.
Wynn Fire Equipment delivered a new set of the Jaws of Life to Williamsburg firefighters Thursday evening and provided training on the new equipment.
“I am extremely excited. I am proud that we are being able to update and move on up,” said Williamsburg Fire Chief Larry Todd about getting the new equipment.
Todd saw that one of the biggest differences between the new Jaws of Life and the older ones is that the new ones are about four times more powerful.

WILLIAMSBURG - The Williamsburg City Council heard annual reports from both Police Chief Wayne Bird and Fire Chief Larry Todd during its meeting Monday evening.
Bird started off the presentations, reporting that 9,711 calls were answered by his department last year. The Williamsburg Police Department issued 1,136 citations, and made 93 DUI arrests. Bird said the 93 DUI arrests were an increase from 2019, and that the majority of that figure was made up of college-aged people.
WPD had 860 criminal arrest in 2020, issued 308 citations for seatbelt violations, and 61 speeding citations. The department opened 160 felony criminal cases last year. They responded to 97 vehicle incidents, 18 of which resulted in injuries.

As a native Kentuckian, born and raised just down the road, I’d made lots of assumptions about a massive automobile salvage site when I asked permission to take photos there the day after a beautiful Christmas snowfall.
Curled around a wooded hillside just south of Berea on U.S. 25, Kentucky Auto Parts & Sales is a striking roadside attraction, especially when the leaves fall and unveil thousands of wrecked and abandoned vehicles, so orderly and devoid of life that the site looks like a busy drive-in theater after the Rapture.
