Irving Fire Department

Yesterday afternoon, Irving Fire Department crews responded to a structure fire in the 1000 block of Vera Court, finding smoke showing upon arrival. Firefighters quickly located and extinguished a kitchen fire that had extended into the attic.
Crews opened the ceiling to access hidden fire, extinguished the remaining hotspots, and completed salvage and overhaul operations to ensure the fire was fully under control.

As we continue recognizing Fire Prevention Month, this incident serves as an important reminder that small actions can make a big difference in an emergency.
Close Before You Doze! A closed door can slow the spread of fire and smoke, reduce exposure to toxic gases, and help keep temperatures lower in the room, giving you more time to escape or survive.

Remember:
✅ Close bedroom doors before going to sleep.
✅ Close doors behind you when escaping a fire, if it is safe to do so.
✅ Make sure smoke alarms are installed and working.

You may not be able to prevent every fire, but simple steps like closing a door can help protect you and your loved ones when seconds count.

Close the door. Protect what matters.

Storytime with Ms. Stephanie is the best! Thank you, Irving Public Library for having us out.

Thank you Irving, for making Irving Fire Department and Irving Public Library the top two departments in the customer satisfaction survey!

We’re so glad to serve our community, and sometimes we get to do it together.

Captain Brent Jenkins brought some of his team from Station 10 to Ms. Stephanie’s storytime last week to talk about fire safety, show kids their gear and their firetruck!

Kids also got to hear stories and sing songs to learn more about firefighters.

Irving – better together!

✅ Identify 2 ways out of every room when possible.
✅ Know where all exit stairs are, especially if you live in a high-rise or condominium.
✅ Choose a meeting place outside.
✅ Practice your escape plan with everyone in your household.
🚪 Remember: A closed door can slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.
