TFR hard at work along the Guadalupe River, assisting with flood response operations in Kerrville, Texas. AL-TF1 & AL-TF5 joined with IL-TF1 combining resources and expertise to continue efforts. Please keep these teams in your thoughts and prayers as operations continue.

Join us in welcoming firefighter Blake Tunnell to TFR!

This week we had the chance to team up with the Swim to the Top Program for an egg drop challenge, giving students a chance to see if their designs could survive the drop from the top of our ladder truck. Fire safety, science, and a few cracked shells, just another day with TFR!

TFR is en route to Texas to assist with search and rescue operations following the devastating flooding in Texas. Please join us in praying for their safety and the communities they’re going to help.

Today our Fire Marshal’s Office provided live fire extinguisher training to the employees at Martinrea. From proper techniques to knowing when (and when not) to fight a fire, these team members now know how to safely and effectively use a fire extinguisher. 🧯

Join us in welcoming the newest member of the department, Firefighter Andy Maluda. Welcome to TFR!
