Today is World Restart a Heart Day, and October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. ❤

When a heart stops, every minute matters. Our community is part of the 4 Minute Community, with one goal in mind. Get an AED to cardiac arrest patients faster because rapid response saves lives.

If you've never learned CPR or how to use an AED, this is your sign.

Last Friday was a big day for our department.

Our firefighters from station 2 picked up lifesaving recognitions at the Baylor Scott & White McKinney Partnership Meeting. Not long ago this crew answered to a call where a young girl and her dog were both seriously injured.

Watching them reunite with the family was everything. First call to final rehab, every person in that chain showed up.

A huge shoutout to our dispatchers, police officers, animal services, and hospital staff who were in it with us.

No ONE saves a life alone.

Investing in leadership. Strengthening our department. Serving our community.

Last week our officers came together for our annual Officer Development Meeting. It's a chance for our leaders to share knowledge, build relationships, and talk through the real challenges of leading in today's fire service.

This year we focused on three things:

- Mental health and wellness. Taking care of our firefighters and making sure our officers know how to spot when someone's struggling and how to take care of their crews.

- Technical rescue. Sharpening our understanding of specialized rescue operations and the resources we have for complex emergencies.

- Leadership. Better communication, real accountability, and living our department values.

Why should our community care? Strong leadership means better service. When we invest in our officers, we're investing in firefighter safety, better emergency response, and the quality of service our residents expect and deserve.

This goes beyond the fire station. It's about being ready to respond, lead, and serve when our community needs us.

Rain didn’t stop the training, it became part of it. 🌧️🚒

Congratulations to our latest Driver Academy graduates! Throughout the academy, these firefighters sharpened their skills behind the wheel, at the pump panel, and on the training ground, all while Mother Nature threw a few extra challenges their way.

Long days, heavy rain, and plenty of hard work later, they’ve earned it.

Congratulations! 👏🚒
