You will see a large police / fire / ems presence this coming Wednesday. This is just a training exercise, no need to be alarmed!

A full-scale emergency response training exercise will take place at Jackie Caffey Jr. High, Meridiana Elementary, and the Alvin ISD Heritage Complex on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Alvin ISD is collaborating with the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office as part of ongoing school safety and emergency preparedness efforts aligned with Texas House Bill 33 (the Uvalde Strong Act) and ongoing Texas school safety preparedness requirements.

Community members in the area may notice an increased presence of law enforcement, emergency vehicles, first responders, and possibly a Life Flight helicopter participating in the exercise. There may also be loud noises associated with the training scenario, including sirens, helicopter activity, and simulated gunfire of blank rounds. Please be aware that this is only a training exercise.

The exercise will take place throughout the morning and into the early afternoon on June 17. During this time, roadways surrounding Caffey Jr. High, Meridiana, and Heritage Complex will be closed to regular traffic and activities. Following the exercise, student and staff volunteers participating in the scenario will be bused under police es**rt to another site as part of the training exercise to practice reunification procedures.

Our district is serving as the host site for this county-coordinated training exercise. Thank you for your understanding and support as local agencies and school districts work together to strengthen coordination and working relationships among our responding partners.

A huge thank you to Captain Hale and Brazoria County Emergency Services District No 3 for opening the doors of the ambulance, better known as “The Box”, and giving our firefighters an inside look at the equipment and tools that help make emergency responses successful.

Every lesson learned today makes our firefighters more capable, more confident, and more effective tomorrow. Because when firefighters and EMS train together, our community wins. ❤️🚒🚑

🔥 Think you’ve got what it takes to be a part of Firemily? Our waitlist is now open for the next Fire Academy. Join the hottest club in town—we promise the training is fire, and sometimes so is the scenery. 😉

A HUGE thank you to Brazoria County Emergency Services District No 3 for knocking it out of the park with today’s Volunteer & Employee Appreciation Lunch! ⚾️🌭🥜 From the hot dogs and nachos to the peanuts, popcorn, and baseball-themed treats… every detail was a home run.

Y’all definitely earned a standing ovation in the 7th inning stretch. ❤️💙💛

As a famous talk show host would say, “IT’S TIIIIIMEEEEE!!”

Okay okay… so maybe not everybody is going to get bunker gear, BUT the waitlist is officially OPEN for our next Fire Academy starting this FALL! 👏🏽🚒

Now listen… before we commit, we wanna get to know you first 👀 Think of this as the “talking stage” of firefighting. And who knows… this could turn into something serious 😌🚒❤️

On-the-job-training doesn’t work for firefighters. The fireground IS NOT the place to learn for the first time. That’s why our crews train hard, WORK HARDER, and stay ready…sharpening their skills long after the academy ends. Because when the tones drop, preparation becomes protection. 🚒🔥

Think you have what it takes? Applications are open. Visit our website to join the next generation of firefighters! 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

From all of us at Iowa Colony Fire Department — Happy Mother’s Day to the women who are truly the heart of their Firemily. 🚒💕

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - May 6th 2026

Iowa Colony Fire Department Firefighter Injured During Mutual Aid Structure Fire

Earlier today at approximately 12:10 p.m., the Iowa Colony Fire Department responded to a mutual aid request from the Rosharon Fire Department for a structure fire in the 7000 block of W. FM 1462.

During interior firefighting operations, one firefighter from our part-time duty crew sustained a burn injury after debris fell from the ceiling. The firefighter was promptly assisted out of the structure by other firefighters on scene to a waiting ambulance for evaluation.

The firefighter was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment. At this time, the firefighter is in stable condition and the injury is not considered life-threatening.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Brazoria County Fire Marshalls Office, and no additional details are available at this time.

The Iowa Colony Volunteer Fire Department appreciates the support and concern from the community. The safety and well-being of our personnel and the residents we serve remains our highest priority.
