Weather Awareness statement

Over the next couple of days, North Texas has the potential to receive significant rainfall, which could lead to localized flooding and rapidly rising water.

We’re asking everyone to stay weather aware and use good judgment. A few things to remember:

🚨 FROM CHIEF BOUCHER & EVERY MEMBER OF THIS DEPARTMENT 🚨

To everyone who came out and supported the 10th Annual Runaway Bay Volunteer Fire Department Fish Fry - thank you!

Seeing so many of our neighbors, friends and families together Saturday meant more to us than you probably realize.

Because this department isn’t just a building with some fire trucks sitting inside of it.

It’s YOUR Fire Department.

The men and women who serve here are your neighbors. We live here. Our families are here. We see you at the store, at the lake, at ball games and community events. And when those tones drop, the person needing us isn’t just another call or an address on a screen.

It’s one of our own.

Saturday, this community showed up for us and so many people helped make this night possible.

❤️ The White family - for the generous donation of the Event Center.

🍽️ 1 Stop, Bush’s Chicken, Crazy Pablo’s, Lowe’s Grocery, Lea Holt and the Ladies Golf Association - for donations of food, desserts and tea.

🎟️ AutoZone, Tractor Supply, Euphoria, GRBA, Kevin Previe, Bobby Cox, Sherry Hicks, Cindy Fuller and Tracy Butler - for donating items to our silent auction.

👕 Shredderz Graffix - for our awesome shirts and banner.

🚁 Air Evac Lifeteam 68 - for flying in and giving the kids an experience they won’t forget.

🎶 Dr. Dan and the Toothaches - for the incredible live music. We think y’all are keepers!

And last, but certainly not least, the Jacksboro community. You showed up in full force to support Joey Highfill, and seeing that kind of love meant more than we can put into words.

There were also countless people who volunteered, baked desserts, donated, bought raffle tickets, bid on auction items and simply walked through those doors to support this department. If we accidentally left anyone out, please know it was absolutely not intentional.

Thank you for believing in this department. Thank you for supporting these firefighters. And thank you for reminding all of us just how special what we have here really is.

This is our community.
This is our home.

Runaway Bay, we are proud to serve you and Wise County, thank you for always showing up. 🚒❤️

From Chief Boucher🚨

25 years ago today, America experienced a morning that changed us forever.

2,977 innocent lives were taken

343 FDNY members.
23 NYPD officers.
37 Port Authority Police officers.
8 private EMTs and paramedics.

Thousands of innocent citizens, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends and coworkers who simply went to work, boarded an airplane, or started another ordinary Tuesday morning.

Some ran for their lives. Some stayed behind to help a stranger and some ran directly toward the unimaginable because somebody inside needed them.

Today isn’t only about remembering how they died.
It’s about remembering that they lived. They were loved. They had families waiting for them to come home, and they were taken from us way to soon

25 years later, we still say their names. We still honor their sacrifice. And we still carry the promise made in the ashes of that morning:

May God hold every soul we lost, every family left behind, and every responder still carrying the weight of that day.

🇺🇸 9/11/2001 — Never Forgotten 🇺🇸

🚒 SUPPORTING ONE OF OUR OWN ❤️

Many in Runaway Bay know Officer Joey Highfill not only as a dedicated public servant, but also as former Fire Chief of the Runaway Bay Volunteer Fire Department.

Joey has spent more than 30 years serving as a firefighter, EMT and law enforcement officer. Now, he needs the support of the communities he has spent so many years serving.

Joey is facing a long recovery after suffering serious burns in an accident.

❤️ RBVFD will have a donation boot for Joey at our 10th Annual Fish Fry on Saturday, September 26, from 5–8 PM.

We are proud to stand behind our former Chief. Once RBVFD family, always RBVFD family 🚒❤️

Please keep Joey and his family in your prayers.

🚨🚨 ROSS FIRE - COMMUNITIES HELPING A COMMUNITY

When something like the Ross Fire happens, it reminds us just how quickly life can change. Behind every acre burned and every smoke column in the distance are real people. Families worried about their homes, communities coming together, and firefighters and first responders putting in long, exhausting hours to protect people they may have never even met.

A lot of you have asked how you can help, and that means more than you know.

If you feel led to help those affected by the Ross Fire and support the ongoing efforts, please use the link attached to this post. Whether you’re able to give a little or a lot, every bit of support matters.

This is what community is about. When one of our neighbors is hurting, we show up. Sometimes that means putting boots on the ground, and sometimes it simply means giving what we can, sharing a post, or saying a prayer.

To everyone fighting this fire, supporting the crews, and helping the families affected. We are with you !

Please keep them all in your prayers, and please share the link so we can reach as many people as possible.
