Rehab 113 - Bridgeport Texas

08/28/2026

Thank you to Bridgeport Country Club and all who have donated, helped load, unload, and serve first responders this week. We are thankful for the supplies and ability to distribute them on calls! Y’all are amazing!

We would like to say thank you to the individual who stopped by to donate snacks while we were on scene last night. We greatly appreciate your generosity!

There have been a lot of questions about how to donate water or snacks to fire departments. Check your local FD’s page-many of them are accepting packs of water, as well as snacks (think jerky, protein bars, individually wrapped items that won’t melt) and electrolyte packets. Rehab 113 also takes donations of these items that we can then pass out on scene. Message our page for more info.

Thank you all for your support. It takes a community.

As the new school year approaches, our local cross-country teams will be back on the roads for early morning practice.

Practice times: 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM

The runners will primarily be using:

Cuba Road
17th Street
Stevens Street

The middle school team will be running around the middle school campus. All runners will be wearing high-visibility safety vests and will do their best to avoid heavily traveled roads.

⚠️ Please slow down, stay alert, and watch for runners, especially during the early morning hours.

🚨 Reminder: The speed limit on Cuba Road/Cates Street is 25 MPH.

A few extra seconds of caution can make all the difference. Thank you for helping keep our students safe as they train for a great season!

Wise words from our friends over as Wise County ESD #3

⚠️ Prevent Roadside Wildfires: Vehicle Safety Tips

Have you ever noticed charred grass along the road? Many of those fires start right from our vehicles! Surrounding dry vegetation can ignite easily, but a few quick checks can prevent a disaster.

🚫 Watch Where You Park: Never park or drive in tall, dry grass. Your vehicle's catalytic converter gets hot enough to easily start a fire.

⛓️ Secure Your Chains: Always hook up trailer safety chains properly so they don’t drag and create sparks on the pavement.

🛞 Check Your Tires: Keep tires properly inflated. Driving on a flat or a bare rim creates immediate sparks.

🔧 Stay Up on Maintenance: Ensure your trailer's wheel bearings and brakes are well-maintained, and fix any exhaust issues early.

If you're towing or driving and notice smoke, sparks, or a flat, pull over safely right away. Let's work together to keep our roads and fields safe this season!
