Plano Firefighters are working around the clock responding to a record number of emergency calls during this historical weather. On Wednesday alone, crews responded to over 1000 calls. We are expecting the call volume to only increase as the temperatures begin to rise, and problems in piping begin to show.

If you have an emergency, we will get there as soon as we can. Until we get there, you will find this video useful in locating and shutting down any water emergency. Stay safe!

Operating on the highway is one of the most dangerous things your police officers and firefighters do. We are saddened for this officer’s family and his brothers and sisters in blue at DPD.

Please keep the family of the fallen Officer, as well as the members of the Dallas Police Department in your thoughts and prayers.

DALLAS POLICE OFFICER STRUCK AND KILLED BY SUSPECTED DRUNK DRIVER

On February 13, 2021, at about 1:45 a.m., a Dallas officer was blocking the scene of a prior freeway accident in the northbound lanes of North Central Expressway at Walnut Hill Lane. A 32-year-old Black male driver of a four door Kia Forte driving at a high rate of speed collided with the officer while he was standing outside of his marked patrol vehicle with his emergency lights on. The officer was transported to Baylor Hospital where he subsequently died of his injuries. The driver of the Kia Forte was found to be intoxicated and was taken into custody with charges pending. The driver of the Kia Forte did not sustain any injuries. There was a female passenger in the Kia Forte who is currently being interviewed by investigators. She was not injured.

If you notice smoke on the East Side of Plano today, do not be alarmed! This is a Prescribed Burn being conducted by several of our members that work for the Plano Fire-Rescue Wild Land Team. This helps to control invasive plant species, proactively reduce combustibles(dead grass, timber, etc.) and helps open the soil for future plant growth.

PFR, along with our friends at Allen Fire Department and McKinney Fire Department, will be conducting a prescribed fire at Plano’s Oak Point Park Friday, February 5 starting at 1:00 pm.
Why a prescribed fire? We do this to get control of invasive plant species, reduce the fuel load, and open the soil for native grass regeneration. It’s also a great opportunity for our wildland firefighters to train.
A final Go/No Go for the prescribed fire will be determined Friday morning based on weather conditions, available fuels, fire behavior predictions, and, most importantly, smoke management concerns.

Did you know that suicide is one of the leading killers of firefighters and paramedics?

One of the Plano Firefighters Association’s most important initiatives is supporting the emotional health and wellness of our members. What does that mean?

It means developing an in-house peer support program in conjunction with the IAFF Peer Support Training Team.

It means identifying qualified and “culturally competent” counselors and healthcare providers for our members and funding significant portions of this treatment, which are not always covered by insurance.

Providing our members access to emotional health and wellness support and healthcare is one of our top priorities and largest budget items. Without all of our members joining together and pooling our resources, none of these programs would be possible.

Happy Labor Day from your Plano Firefighters!

💧 Water is essential for the extinguishment of structure fires. The way we access large quantities of water is through the strategic placement of fire hydrants throughout the City of Plano. Please don’t park in front of our water access. It could be your property or life we are trying to save!

From our house fire this morning...this is why you are not supposed to park in front of a fire hydrant.

Getting started early this morning. Plano Firefighters are on scene of a working structure fire in the 1200 block of Pioneer Lane. Initial crews checked out with heavy fire showing and zero visibility inside. They searched the house and knocked the fire down with an aggressive attack. Stay safe, guys.
