Flood Watch – City of Lampasas

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Lampasas County beginning Wednesday afternoon and continuing into Thursday afternoon.

Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected across Central Texas, with widespread totals of 2–5 inches possible and isolated areas potentially receiving more. There is still some uncertainty about exactly where the heaviest rainfall will occur.

Both the State of Texas and the City of Lampasas have increased their preparedness levels as we monitor the developing weather conditions.

Sign Up for Emergency Notifications

The City of Lampasas is now using Everbridge to send emergency alerts and important public safety information directly to residents and businesses. We strongly encourage everyone to take a few minutes to register before severe weather arrives.

Outdoor Warning Sirens

We also plan to use the City’s outdoor warning sirens if dangerous flooding conditions develop within the city. If you hear the sirens, move to a safe location and monitor official emergency notifications for additional information.

Keep in mind that outdoor sirens are designed primarily to alert people outside and may not be heard inside your home. This is another reason we encourage everyone to sign up for Everbridge.

We’ll continue to monitor the weather throughout the week and provide updates as conditions develop. Please stay weather-aware, have a plan, and avoid driving through flooded roadways.

Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

Your safety is our top concern. That's why The City of Lampasas wants to make sure you know about emergencies and incidents as they happen.

Today, as we remember the events of September 11, 2001, the Lampasas Fire Department received a very special and meaningful gift.

Mr. John Drucker visited our station and donated an office key that belonged to him while he worked in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Mr. Drucker spent many years working at the World Trade Center and also served for many years as a volunteer firefighter in New Jersey.

His last day working at the World Trade Center was September 7, 2001, just four days before the attacks. In the days that followed September 11th, he responded and helped those in need.

We are humbled to have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Drucker, hear a small part of his story, and receive an item with such a personal connection to that day.

The Lampasas Fire Department is extremely grateful for his generosity and honored that he chose to entrust us with this piece of history. We plan to incorporate the key into a permanent display at the fire station, where it can be seen by our firefighters, visitors, and future generations as a reminder of September 11th and the lives forever changed that day.

Thank you, Mr. Drucker, for your service, your generosity, and for sharing a piece of your story with us.

We will never forget.

Do you know what to do if you encounter someone in cardiac arrest?

Early CPR can make a lifesaving difference. Knowing how to recognize cardiac arrest, begin high-quality CPR, and use an AED can give someone the best possible chance of survival until emergency responders arrive.

The class is open to the public, and no matter your background, these are skills worth knowing.

Lampasas Fire Department – 1107 4th Street

Seats are limited. To register, email [email protected] or text 254-813-7484.

🔥🚒 WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL, LAMPASAS! 📚✏️

The Lampasas Fire Department would like to welcome all of our students, teachers, administrators, and school staff back for another great school year!

As everyone settles back into their routines, please help us keep our students and community safe by remembering a few important safety tips:

🚸 Slow down in school zones. Watch your speed, stay alert, and be prepared for children crossing the roadway.

🚌 Watch for school buses. Never pass a school bus when its red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.

📵 Put the phone down. Distracted driving can have serious consequences—especially around schools, crosswalks, and bus stops.

🚶 Watch for students walking and biking. Give pedestrians plenty of room and use extra caution during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup.

🔥 Know your emergency plan. Students and families should know what to do during a fire or other emergency. Practice your home fire escape plan and make sure everyone knows two ways out.

🚨 Check your smoke alarms. Make sure smoke alarms are installed, working, and loud enough to alert everyone in the home.

🎒 Students—stay alert and make safe choices. Follow school safety rules, listen to teachers and staff during drills, and never ignore a fire alarm.

We wish everyone at Lampasas ISD and throughout our community a safe, successful, and enjoyable school year!

Welcome back to school from all of us at the Lampasas Fire Department!

🇺🇸 Happy 250th Anniversary of American Independence! 🇺🇸

The Lampasas Fire Department is proud to join our community in celebrating this historic milestone. We hope everyone enjoys this special occasion with family and friends.

As a reminder, the use of fireworks is prohibited within the Lampasas city limits, including consumer fireworks. These restrictions help protect our community by reducing the risk of fires, injuries, and property damage.

If you're planning to enjoy fireworks, please attend a legal public display or celebrate in an area where fireworks are permitted and can be used safely and responsibly.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, please:
• Stay aware of your surroundings.
• Keep children supervised.
• Never use fireworks while impaired.
• Call 911 immediately if an emergency occurs.

Thank you for helping keep Lampasas safe while we celebrate our nation's 250th birthday.

From all of us at the Lampasas Fire Department, have a safe, enjoyable, and memorable Independence Day! 🇺🇸
