What Can You Do to Protect Elderly Family, Friends, and Neighbors?

• Ensure that every bedroom, hallway and sleeping area in their home is equipped with a working smoke alarm.

• Test their smoke alarms on a regular basis and replace conventional batteries annually.

• Check the expiration date of any existing smoke alarms and replace them per manufacturer’s recommendations.

• In homes with expired or missing smoke alarms, install new long-life smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and sleeping area.

A big thank you to Outback Steakhouse Shenandoah for stopping by with treats for our crew today! We are truly thankful to serve such an amazing community!

Yesterday, B-Shift participated in a training exercise using the Texas A&M Forest Service Simulation Table to analyze the response efforts associated with the Smokehouse Creek Fire and Windy Deuce Fire. Crews worked through fire behavior, resource deployment, changing weather conditions, and tactical decision making to better understand the complexities of large-scale wildland incidents.

Training opportunities like this allow our personnel to learn from real-world events, strengthen their incident management skills, and prepare for the challenges that may arise both within our community and through mutual aid responses across the state.

We appreciate the Texas A&M Forest Service for providing valuable training resources that help ensure our firefighters remain ready to respond when called upon!

Happy Birthday to Brian Arceneaux, Montgomery County ESD 4 President!
