The 2026 Recruit Class is turning up the heat today at the Deer Park Fire Training Facility! 🔥🚒

This morning, recruits are putting their training to the test by conducting a series of live burns before noon. After lunch, family members will get a front-row seat to watch their recruits take on a live fire evolution and showcase the skills they’ve been working hard to develop.

Big day for these recruits as they continue the journey toward becoming firefighters. Stay safe, stay sharp, and make us proud! 💪

Your La Porte Fire Department has had a busy and productive last month!

During the month of April, our members participated in V.E.I.S./Oriented Search training operations, continuing to sharpen the skills needed to perform aggressive and effective fireground searches. At the same time, our 2026A Recruit Class successfully started the live burn portion of the academy, putting their training into action in a controlled environment designed to build confidence, teamwork, and real-world experience.

We are proud of the hard work and dedication shown by both our current members and newest recruits as they continue preparing to serve the citizens of La Porte at the highest level.

Thank you to all of our instructors, officers, and members who continue investing their time into training and developing the next generation of firefighters. 🚒🔥

La Porte Police Department to Host Sensory-Friendly Touch-A-Truck Event for Autism Awareness Month

Loud sirens, flashing lights, large emergency vehicles, and unfamiliar uniforms can be overwhelming and confusing for individuals with autism and other neurodivergent conditions. In emergency situations, these sensory challenges can create additional stress and potential safety risks for individuals, their families, and first responders alike.

In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, the La Porte Police Department is taking proactive steps to bridge that gap by hosting a sensory-friendly Touch-A-Truck event on Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the La Porte Police Department, 3001 N. 23rd Street.

The event is designed to provide a calm, welcoming environment where community members can explore emergency vehicles at their own pace, meet first responders, and become familiar with the sights and sounds they may encounter during an emergency. By removing the urgency and unpredictability of real-life emergency situations, organizers hope to build comfort, understanding, and trust.

Attendees will have the opportunity to see, touch, and explore a variety of city vehicles, including police units, fire trucks, EMS vehicles, public works equipment, and specialized response vehicles. Representatives from multiple City of La Porte departments will be present to answer questions and connect families with valuable community resources.

For individuals with sensory sensitivities, early exposure in a structured and supportive setting can make a meaningful difference. Becoming familiar with emergency equipment and personnel helps reduce fear and confusion if a real emergency occurs. It also allows first responders to engage with families, learn more about the unique needs of neurodivergent individuals, and strengthen community relationships.

“This event is about connection,” organizers shared. “We want every member of our community to feel safe and supported. By creating a sensory-friendly experience, we are helping families prepare for emergencies while building positive interactions with our first responders.”

The Touch-A-Truck event is open to the public, and families of individuals with autism and other developmental or sensory challenges are especially encouraged to attend. The evening promises hands-on learning, meaningful conversations, and a supportive atmosphere focused on inclusion and awareness.

Where else can you get all the crawfish you can eat, a water balloon fight, and an Easter egg hunt all in one place? LPFD Family Day...that's where. One for the history books. Thanks to all who came out and made today special, and an even bigger thanks to our Laddies Auxiliary for all their hard work setting up and making this event happen.
