Cy-Fair FD Annual Christmas Eve Tradition 🎄🚒

Twas the night before Christmas and like all Decembers
Not a creature was stirring, not even the members
The gear was all hung in the stations with luck
That on any fire call they’d all make the truck
The Chiefs were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of fire toys danced in their heads
The records were finished, the training on hold
Dispatch was snuggled all warm from the cold
When over the pagers there arose such a clatter
We sprang from our beds to see what was the matter
Something was burning - no time to be slow
Though it was Christmas, we still have to go
With sirens a’wailing, we sped to the glow
Through dark city streets and the new fallen snow
Go pumpers, go ladders, go rehab van
Upon your arrival report to command

More rapid than eagles, the Chief’s people came
And he shouted and whistled and called them by name
On six, eight, on ten, and engine nine
And the rest of you too, you’re doing just fine

“Give me a search, and fast attack, too”
So into the house the firefighters flew
The fire, it was blazing, the flames to the heavens
This is the big one, we’ll even call sevens

The ambulance made it and set up their post
When interior ran out, looking white as a ghost
“Look what we’ve found,” they shouted together
And almost fell down with the thought of a feather

He was dressed all in red from his head to his foot
His clothes were covered with ashes and soot
His eyes had a twinkle, his beard was so thick
His pack full of toys, it must be Saint Nick!

He said, “thanks for the rescue and the Gatorade, too
I wish I could stay but I have much work to do
You see, I was stuck in a chimney so small
I worried about having no Christmas at all”

“But thanks to your efforts, I’ll be on my way”
And as he was leaving, we all heard him say
“The gift that I leave thanks to each of you
Are nothing compared to the giving you do”

“For the time and the service, for the help that you give
For keeping us safe wherever we live
My holiday wish as you keep up the fight
Merry Christmas to all into all, a good night!”

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the Dispatcher and Officers of the Cy-Fair Fire Department

Last night for Thursday night training station 5 started off with some holiday cheer. But then went into full gear for vehicle extrication training.

Groups were divided up into different scenarios including patient packing and extrication from vehicles, stabilization and rapid extraction with power tools.

As always a lot of learning and fun was had. We’d like to greatly thank CSI Collision Specialist for their continued support for the utilization of their property and cars to continue growing our knowledge!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point. The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it is found and treated early.

National Breast Cancer Awareness month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer.

Our personnel will be allowed to wear their Department breast cancer awareness t-shirts throughout the month of October instead of their normal uniform.

Amazing Job by Station 5’s B Shift Medic Crew Tiffany & Gordy!

PATIENT REUNION
Cyclist, Nery Hernandez, thanks Cy-Fair FD crews for saving his life at a patient reunion on September 2, 2020, at Cy-Fair FD Station 6 in Houston. Hernandez suffered from sudden cardiac arrest while on a training ride with BNW Cycling Team in July 2020, in Houston.

On Thursday, July 23, 2020, Cy-Fair FD Medic 5, Paramedic Tiffany Fussell, and EMT Michael Gordy, were transporting a patient to a nearby hospital when the crew was flagged down for a report of an adult male cyclist who collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest.

Medic 5 crew discovered Hernandez had no pulse and wasn’t breathing so they immediately began CPR and called for additional resources. Crews successfully revived Hernandez on the side of Eldridge Parkway as additional resources arrived on-scene.

Hernandez was transported by Memorial Hermann Life Flight to Memorial Hermann - TMC where doctors performed life-saving surgery and installed an implanted cardioverter defibrillator. Hernandez was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome, a disorder that leads to an irregular rhythm in the ventricles, this resulted in him having sudden cardiac arrest due to this ventricular arrhythmia.

According to the American Heart Association, about 90 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die. Hernandez, who has CPR and first-aid training, advocates for others to do the same. “I think everyone should have CPR training, it’s the knowledge that can save someone’s life, I strongly believe that,” Hernandez said.

“I’m really thankful, I thank God every day that I’m alive. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all of you,” Hernandez said, “I tell everyone I have an angel who saved my life, the Medic who performed CPR on me, now I know that my angel’s name is Tiffany.”
