Van Alstyne Fire-Rescue

This Memorial Day, Van Alstyne Fire Rescue pauses to honor and remember the brave men and women of our armed forces who gave their lives in service to our nation. Today serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifice made by those who never came home and the families who continue to carry that loss each day. We stand in gratitude for their courage, their selflessness, and the freedoms secured through their sacrifice.

🎉Congratulations to Firefighter/Paramedic Dan Lippincott🎉

Over the weekend, Dan successfully completed all final check-offs with Dr. Keelen, officially concluding his paramedic preceptorship. Now that his training is complete, Dan is prepared and equipped to serve the citizens of Van Alstyne. We are excited to see the positive impact that he will make in our community!

“Conducting drills to reaffirm procedures, promote confidence in technological tools, and identify potential shortfalls is key to ensuring these systems operate with precision, accuracy, and timeliness when they are needed the most.” -Chief Kidd
