On October 7, 2026, we conducted a fire prevention public safety class for the Brookside Elementary Kindergarten class. During the class, we taught the children essential fire safety measures such as the “stop, drop, and roll” technique and the importance of having a fire escape plan. We would like to express our gratitude to Brookside Elementary for their continued support and for allowing us to return to their school each year.

This morning at 8:58 am, we were dispatched to assist Dallas Fire Department (FD) with a motor vehicle collision with rescue at the intersection of Lower Dallas Highway and Old Spencer Mountain Road. Since Dallas Fire Department was participating in a training event, we were tasked with assisting in answering their calls. Rescue 18 and Squad 19 arrived to find two vehicles with moderate damage. Squad 19 assisted the emergency medical services (EMS) in removing multiple patient from the vehicles. We remained on the scene for a short duration before Squad 19 cleared the scene at 9:30 am.

September 11, 2001.
A day that changed everything.
We remember the 2,977 lives lost.
We remember the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, and ordinary citizens who ran toward danger.
We remember the courage.
We remember the sacrifice.
We remember what it looked like when a nation stood together.
25 years later, we still remember.
Never forget.
