🚒🐾 MEET OUR NEWEST RECRUIT: FANCY! 🐾🚒

Carrollton Fire Rescue had a very important visitor stop by the Fire Prevention Week Safety Fair—our newest recruit, Fancy!

Fancy had to swing by and inspect the fire truck, make sure the firefighters were doing their jobs, and confirm that everything was up to her very high standards. So far, she gives the truck two paws up! 🐶👍

She may be small, but she’s already showing great promise in the fire service. Her specialties include tail-wagging, treat detection, and looking adorable in uniform.

Stop by, say hello, and meet Fancy before she gets promoted to Chief of Cuteness!

❤️ OCTOBER IS SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AWARENESS MONTH ❤️

Today is World Restart a Heart Day, a reminder that anyone can make a difference when someone experiences cardiac arrest. You don’t need medical credentials to save a life. You need knowledge, courage, and the willingness to act.

What happens during cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively, cutting off blood flow to vital organs, including the brain. Without immediate action, the person’s chance of survival decreases rapidly.

What should you look for?

The person is unresponsive to your voice or touch.
They are not breathing normally or are only gasping.

What should you do?

Call 911 Get emergency help on the way.
Start CPR. If the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
Use an AED. If one is available, use it as soon as possible and follow its instructions.
Keep going. Continue CPR until help arrives or you are instructed to stop.

Without CPR, the chance of survival can decrease by approximately 10% for every minute that passes. Early CPR and AED use can make the difference between life and death.

❤️ YOU COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

There are still spots available for our FREE Hands-Only CPR class on Saturday, October 31, at 9:00 a.m. Join Carrollton Fire Rescue and learn how to take action when seconds matter.

🌊 TRAINING FOR THE WORST CONDITIONS. 🌊

This past week, three Carrollton Fire Rescue members completed a rigorous 44-hour Swift Water Rescue course hosted by Rowlett Fire Department in New Braunfels.

Our members spent the week in and around the water learning, practicing, and putting their skills to the test in challenging conditions, ultimately earning their Swift Water Rescue Certifications.

Training included:

🔹 River hydrology
🔹 PPE and water rescue equipment
🔹 Shore-based rescue operations
🔹 Boat operations
🔹 Throw bags
🔹 Contact rescues
🔹 Self-rescue techniques
🔹 Medical considerations
🔹 Tension high lines
🔹 Catch curtains
🔹 Victim removal
🔹 Offensive and defensive swimming techniques

Swift water rescue is physically demanding and technically challenging. When the water is moving, conditions can change in seconds and there is no room for hesitation.

Our members train for these situations so that when the call comes in, they are ready to respond.

Train hard. Stay ready. Carrollton Fire Rescue. 🚒🌊

A special thank you to Rowlett Fire Department for hosting the course and providing our members with the opportunity to sharpen these critical rescue skills.

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month

We often say that CPR and AEDs save lives, but that’s more than a slogan or a hashtag. We have the data to show just how important early action can be right here in Carrollton.

📊 According to the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES), from 2020–2025, 585 people in Carrollton experienced a non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Overall, 10.1% survived, compared with 9.8% nationally.

But look what happens when cardiac arrest is witnessed and help can begin quickly:

• When the cardiac arrest was witnessed by a bystander, survival was 17.9% (14.9% nationally).

• When it was witnessed and the patient was found in a shockable heart rhythm, survival was 39.3% (31.7% nationally).

• And among those witnessed, shockable cardiac arrests where a bystander stepped in with CPR and/or AED application, 48.5% survived (35.5% nationally).

That’s nearly 1 in 2.

The person who collapses from sudden cardiac arrest will need CFR’s highly trained firefighter/paramedics as well as the nurses and physicians at our local hospitals, but survival must begin with the person who happens to be nearby.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll share how you can be prepared to act when sudden cardiac arrest happens and help strengthen the chain of survival right here in Carrollton.
