Our newest fire cadets trained alongside shift personnel, focusing on fire dynamics and the proper use of thermal imaging cameras.

This hands-on training was conducted as part of the in-service for our newly acquired Max Fire Box, providing a controlled environment to demonstrate how fire behaves and how critical decisions impact conditions on the fireground.

Building this foundation early matters. Understanding fire behavior isn’t optional—it’s what keeps our people disciplined, effective, and going home after every shift.

Specialized Training in Rail Emergency Response

Our personnel continue to sharpen their skills to better serve our community and region.

Recently, Engineer Light, Engineer Barron, and Lieutenant Cantu completed an intensive 30-hour Rail Emergency Response course conducted by Union Pacific in partnership with TRANSCAER. This course provides critical training in safely controlling hazardous materials leaks on railcars, assessing train derailments, and mitigating associated risks.

With rail lines playing a vital role across West Texas, this type of advanced training ensures our crews are prepared to respond quickly, safely, and effectively to complex incidents involving hazardous materials.

We are proud of the dedication these members show in continuing their professional development and strengthening our operational readiness.
