Preparedness
In Patterson

Contributed by: Troy Hardy, PAT Terminal Manager

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Patterson Fire Department at our Patterson Terminal over the course of 3 days. Ernesto, PAT Operations Manager, did an outstanding job coordinating the visit and making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

The goal of the event was to give every member of the department a chance to familiarize themselves with our facility—its layout, access points, and key operational areas. It was also a great opportunity to strengthen the partnership we’ve built with them since opening our Patterson terminal.

We thought you might enjoy a few snapshots from the visit, along with the kind words they shared on their Instagram account. It’s always rewarding to see our collaboration with local first responders continue to grow.

From @pattersonfiredeptca on Instagram:

Patterson Fire recently visited Oak Harbor Freight Lines, Inc. for facility tours to strengthen our emergency preparedness.

These walkthroughs give our crews the opportunity to study the facility’s layout, access points and fire protection features before an emergency happens. By gaining this knowledge in advance, responders can act faster, safer and more effectively when seconds count.

A big thank-you to Oak Harbor Freight Lines, Inc. for welcoming our crews!
