When a serious injury occurs, great outcomes depend on great teamwork.

Earlier this week, Fredericksburg Fire EMS personnel trained alongside Methodist Hospital Hill Country staff during a Trauma Team Development Course. These collaborative training opportunities help ensure a seamless transition of care from the scene of an emergency to the hospital, ultimately benefiting the patients we serve.

We appreciate our healthcare partners and the opportunity to train together in preparation for the moments that matter most.

Today, our crew had the opportunity to visit with students participating in the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce's iOpener program at Fredericksburg High School, a teen leadership program modeled after Leadership Gillespie County.

The October session focused on first responders, giving students a behind-the-scenes look at what our team does each day to serve our community. Students took part in equipment demonstrations, vehicle and apparatus walk-throughs, and discussions about emergency response, teamwork, and public service. We enjoyed sharing our profession with the next generation of community leaders!

🔥 Safe Debris Burning Tips 🔥

Over the past week, we have had several brushfire calls related to out of control burning. While these fires have been small and slow-moving in nature due to moisture and weather conditions, these fires could still occur if improper burning techniques are not corrected and could lead to larger fires if during hot or windy days.

🔥 Call burn into County 911 Dispatch (830-990-8793 and press 1)
🔥 Do NOT burn before sunrise or after sunset (TCEQ regulation)
🔥 Burn brush piles that are smaller and more manageable
🔥 Check the weather and NEVER burn during winds of 15 mph+
🔥 NEVER leave piles unattended and keep water source nearby
🔥 Clear vegetation and fuel around the pile to avoid fire jumping

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Official Emergency Communication

With third-party radio scanner applications and automated social media accounts gaining popularity, the Fredericksburg Police Department reminds our community to rely on official channels for critical emergency information.

The Risk of Scanner Apps:
Unverified third-party scanner apps and automated accounts often misinterpret fast-paced police and emergency radio chatter, leading to false reports and unnecessary confusion during active incidents.

Follow Official Fredericksburg Channels:
When incidents occur, verified and timely updates will always be shared through official local agency pages:

Fredericksburg Texas Police Department
Fredericksburg Fire EMS
Fredericksburg/Gillespie County - TX Emergency Management
City of Fredericksburg, TX - Local Government

Stay Connected & Informed:
-Follow our official pages for direct updates.
-Sign up for City of Fredericksburg emergency notifications.

Emergency: Call 9-1-1

10/2 2P: The Gillespie County Burn Ban has been LIFTED by Judge Jones after consultation and recommendation of the lift by the Gillespie County Fire Marshal and local City and County fire chiefs. The burn ban was lifted at 1:45P.

Regardless of conditions, landowners are strongly encouraged to treat burning with extreme care every day. Daily conditions such as wind, humidity, and previous recent rainfall must be taken into account to ensure a safe burn. Not all locations may have the same fuel dryness based on recent rain, and vegetation considerations must be assessed while planning a burn.

Landowners MUST call the burn into Gillespie County Dispatch at 830-990-8793 and press 1. Burning should NEVER be left unattended and should only be conducted after sunrise and before sunset.
