Help us welcome our new Engine 201 into service at the Engine 201 Push-In Ceremony on July 17! 💛

This engine marks a special moment in Hurst. You’ll notice it looks a little different this time. Hurst is returning to its historic yellow fire apparatus, honoring the longtime tradition that defined our fleet for decades. Our last in-service yellow unit will complete its 20 years of service once the new Engine 201 is officially pushed-in to operation.

Engine 201 will be housed at Fire Station 1 and features all-electric tools, brand new hose, and updated equipment. As we have traditionally operated, this engine will serve on the front line for 10 years, then an additional 10 years in reserve service.

📅 July 17 | 8:30 a.m.
📍 Fire Station 1 (2100 Precinct Line Rd.)

Last night we celebrated the graduation of two of our newest recruits. Firefighter Weiss and Firefighter Ruffu both recently graduated from the TCC Basic Fire Academy. This academy is a 3 month program that provides rigorous training for those called to a career in firefighting. These recruits learn with hands on experience and cover numerous topics such as fire behavior, suppression techniques, search and rescue, first aid, and so much more. We express extreme gratitude to the instructors and support staff at Tarrant County College Fire Academy for their dedication to the teaching and guidance given to these students. These two recruits will now begin their training with the department, learning side by side with the great men that serve our great city every day. Congratulations, Firefighters Weiss and Ruffu!

During National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we pause to recognize the voices behind the scenes—the calm in the chaos, the steady guidance in moments of crisis.

To our dispatchers: thank you for being the unseen lifeline. Your strength, patience, and compassion make a difference in ways most will never fully understand. Every call you answer is an opportunity to bring reassurance, direction, and hope to someone on what may be their worst day. You’re the calm voice when everything else is chaos, the lifeline before we even arrive, and the ones who somehow understand us even when we’re talking through sirens, gear, and pure adrenaline.

Your work does not go unnoticed. We are grateful for your dedication, your resilience, and the positive impact you make every single day.

You are heard. You are valued. You are appreciated.

Proud to serve the community of Hurst!

💙🚒 When seconds count, heroes answer the call. 👶

Texas Health is proud to recognize Hurst Fire Department Station 1 – Medic 211, C Shift for their lifesaving response to a recent call. Upon arrival, the crew found a newborn—just 20 minutes old—who was not breathing. While staff on scene had already begun CPR, additional resources and advanced care were urgently needed.

This crew quickly took over, initiating compressions, providing life‑saving treatment, and ventilating the baby to ensure safe transport to Texas Health Harris Methodist HEB’s Emergency Department. Thanks to this incredible teamwork and quality care, this baby is now happy, healthy, and home. Kudos to Blake Barton, Kody Collins, Aidan Deering-Frank, Cody Lammons, Cory Robinson, Christopher Samples pictured below Texas Health Harris Methodist HEB emergency leaders Kristin Malvik, ED Manager and Adam Parish, EMS Liaison. 🏡✨
