Proud of our fire fighters who last night rescued eight people who were stranded on a roller coaster. They used a ladder truck to one-by-one remove each person in a safety harness. Thank you, GFD!

Over the weekend several Galveston firefighters deployed to Central & North Texas to provide mutual aid for the ongoing wildfires through TIFMAS. Their assistance will ensure aid for the communities affected by these unfortunate circumstances. These firefighters are equipped and prepared to aid in wildland firefighting, and search & rescue efforts. We remain committed to providing aid wherever needed.

📣 A HUGE shout out to Amy Weber and GEMS. We thank you for your service to this island and the residents of Galveston.

During EMS Week, we want to recognize the leadership and dedication of EMS Director Amy Weber, known locally as "La Reyna," and her incredible team at the Galveston Area Ambulance Authority.

Amy Weber’s passion for emergency medical services is rooted in service, teamwork, and taking care of the community. Under her leadership, the professionals of GAAA continue to provide lifesaving care across Galveston County every day — often during some of the most difficult moments in people’s lives.

EMS is more than emergency response. It is compassion, commitment, preparedness, and resilience in action.

The City of Galveston is proud to work alongside Amy Weber and the dedicated paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and support personnel who help protect our island community 24 hours a day.

Thank you for your service, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to the people of Galveston County during EMS Week and every week.
