Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas!
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the land, not a creature was stirring, not even command.
The gear was all hung in the stations with care, so if help were needed we’d soon all be there.
The firefighters were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of new trucks danced through their heads.
The training was finished all action was stopped, in hopes that at Christmas no calls would be dropped.
When over pagers there rose such a clatter, we all sprang to our feet to see what was the matter.
A fire was burning no time to be slow, and though it was Christmas we all had to go.
With Sirens a’blarin, our energies high, we sped in the trucks toward the glow in the sky.
On Battalion 1, on Medic 5, on Engine 2, on Tower 4 and Rehab 3, now hook to the hydrants, and show it our power.
We’ll sector the fire by roof and by wall, now dash away, dash away, dash away all.
So up to the top the roof sector flew, with axes and pike poles, and smoke blowers too.
Interior was working in front and behind and all of a sudden reported a find.
He was dressed in all red from his head to his foot, his clothes were all soiled with ashes and soot.
But, his eyes had a twinkle it wasn’t a trick, who else could it be? It must be St. Nick.
He said thanks for the rescue for hearing my call, we were close to not having a Christmas at all.
I wish I could stay till you end this command, but I’ve much work to do all over the land.
The gifts that I’ll leave for each one of you, are nothing compared to the giving you do.
So thanks one last time for the service you give, for keeping us safe wherever we live.
My holiday wish as you keep up the fight, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
From the Harris County ESD No. 48 family, have a very Merry Christmas!

Our team consists of highly trained professionals, including full-time, part-time, and volunteer members. We currently operate four stations, with plans to add two more in the near future.
