Clayton Fire Department are in Joplin
Chief Mark Thorp and Firefighter Jeff Counts of the Clayton Fire Department are in Joplin, MO, to assist with tornado relief efforts, a city official stated Monday.
The two are serving as part of a disaster medical team, Clayton communications coordinator Judy Kekich stated in an email.
The devastating tornado happened Sunday.
It's not the first time the two have provided assistance following major natural disasters: The two visited Port Au Prince, Haiti, in early 2010 following the earthquake in that country, an article on page 4 of the April 2010 CityViews newsletter states.

Power outage Monday at three Bellevue Medical Plaza buildings
Emergency officials got the call at about 4:10 p.m., firefighter Larry Drexler of the Brentwood Fire Department said. He said emergency workers were helping bring to safety people who became trapped in elevators when the power went out.
"It's probably storm-related," Drexler said. Storms early Monday afternoon caused widespread power outages in Richmond Heights and Clayton.
It wasn't clear when Ameren Missouri would be able to get the power back on at the buildings, Chief Kerry Hogan of the Richmond Heights Fire Department said. The building at 1027 Bellevue Ave. had a backup generator, while the two remaining buildings—1031 Bellevue Ave. and 1035 Bellevue Ave.—had emergency battery backup that only lasts a short time, he said.
