HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) Hopkinsville Fire & EMS has unveiled a special Solar Eclipse uniform shirt that will be worn by firefighters and paramedics from now through August 2017.
These shirts, which display the Hopkinsville Fire Department shield on the left front chest area, are navy blue and feature a custom Solar Eclipse design on the back. The word “Eclipseville” is emblazoned with the Solar Eclipse crescent and divides the words “Fire” and “EMS,” with a fire hose spraying the flames of the sun.
Above the design on the back is a QR code that directs users to www.eclipseville.com so that all who scan it have access to a wealth of Solar Eclipse information.
“With Hopkinsville Fire Department’s high run volume and transport EMS services, our staff can be seen anywhere from Louisville to Nashville and beyond,” said Hopkinsville Fire Chief Freddie Montgomery. “We hope to be the walking billboards of the city’s Eclipse efforts. We have added the QR code to our uniform t-shirts to help get the information out to citizens, visitors and potential Eclipse chasers, by taking them straight to the Eclipse information website.”
These specialty tees will not be for sale to the public, as they are actual uniform pieces for the Fire and EMS crew members.
The Hopkinsville Fire Department strives to preserve the lives and property of citizens and visitors through fire prevention and suppression, rescue, emergency medical care, Haz-Mat incident mitigation, and public education.
