Good Monday morning Fayette County!

This week, we celebrate Telecommunications Week! We would like to highlight this group of unsung heroes who contribute daily to our safety and the effectiveness of police, fire, ems, and other first responders.

They are the heart behind the voice.
Rarely seen, but always heard.
They’re calm in the darkest hours.

This is a stressful and thankless job. Dispatchers respond quickly to emergencies, playing a vital role in life-saving measures by connecting emergency services to the people who need it. The safety of law enforcement officers, firefighters, ems and other first responders also depend on the information they receive from dispatchers who serve as a crucial link in responding to a crisis.

Dispatchers make a huge difference everyday in people’s lives by helping them through some of their worst times while showing compassion, understanding and professionalism while doing their job.

Pictured are the Fayette County Sheriff's Office Communications Division, along with your Fayette County Commissioners Court. A proclamation was signed declaring Communications Week, during Commissioners Court this past week.

Dispatchers from left to right (back row): Adrienne McIntosh, Sonya Lehmann, Laure Chollett, Sam Velasquez, Supervisor Kim Haba, Jackie Moree, Priscilla Dierschke, and Julie Neville. Missing from the picture is Terrell Klimek.

We are also hiring if you would like to join this amazing team! Applications may be picked up at the Fayette County Sheriff's Office or by contacting Kim Haba at 979-968-5856. No experience necessary. Must be 18 years of age.

The top human cause for wildfires continues to be debris burning. Be mindful of local weather conditions. Help protect Texas by following these tips for safe debris burning.

🔥 Verify and obey any local burn restrictions and burn bans.
🔥 Avoid burning in hot, dry, and windy conditions.
🔥 Keep debris piles small and manageable with vegetation and flammable materials cleared to at least 10 feet away from the pile.
🔥 Always keep a water source nearby, such as a hose.
🔥 Do not burn under overhead obstructions such as trees, power lines, and structures.
🔥 Never leave the fire unattended and ensure it is fully extinguished before leaving.
