A big thank you to Kirby Wilson, Mes, and Makita for inviting Jeff Proctor and I out to Georgia to see and get hands-on with Makita’s newest and greatest innovations in firefighting tools!

It was a great opportunity to see firsthand the technology and innovation helping advance the tools we rely on to do our jobs safely and effectively.

We appreciate the hospitality, the opportunity to learn, and the continued commitment to supporting the firefighting community!

🚒 What an awesome last two and a half days! 💪🔥
We had the privilege of hosting a Heavy Vehicle Rescue Class with Republic Rescue, and what a great experience it was!
We had Paratech and HURST on hand to demonstrate their extrication equipment, and we were thankful to have several members from other departments join us for this training.
As I worked alongside our firefighters and stepped back to watch them work together as a team, I was truly humbled. Seeing everyone come together, learn, push themselves, and work toward a common goal is a reminder of what this job is all about. It makes you proud to be part of such a great team!
We even had a special visit from our City Manager, Eli Torres, who got to jump in on the action and cut a door off a vehicle! We appreciate him taking the time to come out and see what our firefighters do and the training that goes into being prepared to serve our community.
A huge thank-you to Lubbock Wrecker Service for providing the vehicles and, even more importantly, for building that relationship with us and taking part in the training. Partnerships like these are invaluable and help us better prepare for the real emergencies we may face.
We also want to thank La Tejanita for providing some absolutely delicious meals and keeping everyone fed throughout the class!
To Republic Rescue, Paratech, HURST, all the departments who attended, our partners at Lubbock Wrecker Service, La Tejanita, and everyone who helped make these last two and a half days possible — THANK YOU!
We are blessed to have the support, partnerships, and people who make training like this possible. At the end of the day, it’s all about learning, working together, and being better prepared to serve our community when someone needs us most.

God is good, and we are truly blessed!

On behalf of the Office of Emergency Management, Coordinator Jay Callaway would like to thank the residents of Snyder and Scurry County for their patience throughout the installation and testing of our outdoor warning sirens.

All testing is now complete. Moving forward, if you hear the outdoor warning sirens, it will indicate an actual warning. Please go indoors and seek additional information from the National Weather Service or the City of Snyder’s official page.

We encourage all residents to sign up for weather-related alerts at https://snydertx.gov/alerts to receive important notifications when severe weather threatens our area.

We also strongly recommend keeping a battery-powered weather radio in your emergency go-bag or emergency supply kit. In the event of a power outage during an emergency, a weather radio can help you stay informed when other sources of information may be unavailable.

Finally, we extend our appreciation to the Scurry County Commissioners for recognizing the importance of this project and investing in the safety and preparedness of residents throughout Snyder and Scurry County.

Thank you for your patience and for helping us build a safer, more prepared community.

— Jay Callaway

The Snyder Fire Department would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Energy Vault for their incredibly generous $10,000 donation toward the purchase of new HazMat gas monitoring equipment.

This equipment will greatly enhance our ability to detect and monitor hazardous gases during emergency incidents, helping us better protect our firefighters, first responders, and the citizens we serve.

Support like this improves firefighter safety and strengthens our emergency response capabilities throughout Snyder and Scurry County.

We are extremely grateful to Energy Vault for investing in the safety of our community and supporting your local first responders.
