Our hearts are with the families, friends and fellow service members of the two soldiers who tragically lost their lives in Bell County last week.

Justin Fire Department's Captain Swafford was serving on a TIFMAS deployment as an Engine Boss during the response to this tragic incident. We are grateful for his service and for the TIFMAS program, which allows JFD personnel to assist communities across Texas while maintaining full coverage and continuing to protect our residents here at home.

Please join us in keeping the soldiers’ families and all those affected by this loss in your thoughts and prayers.

🚒 Justin Firefighters Answer the Call Across Texas 🚒

Several members of the Justin Fire Department are currently deployed through the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS), a statewide program that allows fire departments to provide trained personnel and equipment to communities across Texas during large-scale emergencies such as wildfires and natural disasters.

Current deployments include:

• Engine 572: Fredericksburg area with three Justin firefighters and one Fort Worth firefighter.
• Tender 572: Menard with one Justin firefighter and one Sanger Fire Department firefighter.
• One additional Justin firefighter is assigned to a Roanoke Fire Department apparatus.

While these firefighters are serving communities in need, the Justin Fire Department remains fully staffed and ready to respond to emergencies here at home. Residents can be confident that emergency services within the City of Justin continue without interruption.

We are incredibly proud of our firefighters for representing Justin with professionalism and servant leadership as they assist fellow Texans during this critical time. Please join us in wishing them a safe deployment and a safe return home.

🚒 Proactive Planning. Stronger Partnerships. Safer Response.

Beginning October 1, the Justin Fire Department will begin using a new emergency response platform called First Due, an investment that will enhance our ability to respond quickly, safely, and effectively when emergencies occur.

First Due combines computer aided dispatch, incident reporting, scheduling, district and hydrant mapping, and pre-fire planning into one comprehensive system.

As part of this proactive initiative, JFD crews have begun training and visiting businesses throughout Justin to develop pre-fire plans. These plans document important building features such as exits, utility shutoffs, fire protection systems, and other critical information that can help firefighters make informed decisions during an emergency.

These visits are more than a training opportunity. They are a chance to build relationships with our local business community, answer questions, and become familiar with each facility before an emergency ever happens. This proactive approach benefits everyone by helping reduce response times, improving firefighter safety, and better protecting lives and property.

If you see our firefighters at your business over the coming weeks, please take a moment to say hello. We appreciate your partnership as we continue working together to keep Justin safe.
