Last month a resident in his mid-fifties was exercising in one of Plano’s parks when he experienced a sudden cardiac arrest. Our Station 10 C-Shift responded, performed multiple interventions, and saved the man’s life.

Today our medical director, Dr. Mark Gamber, bought the crew lunch in recognition of their hard work. The key to any EMS system is the doctor, and we’ve got one of the best.

Great work, guys!

'Every Day Is An Opportunity To Change The Narrative': Plano Police Officer Helps Needy Family Escape Heat, Pays For Hotel

Well done Plano Police Dept!

What a family first perceived as a case of police harassment had a far different outcome in Plano. In fact, the officer’s actions have earned him praise.

'It Was Kind Of Breathtaking': Plano Firefighter Shares Personal Account Of House Explosion Aftermath

From the common calls to the not so common your Plano Firefighters will always be there for you and your family.

Plano firefighters are being called heroes by the victims of Monday’s house explosion.

07/20/2021

9:30 pm update: Atmos and Oncor have determined gas and electricity can safely be turned on to the homes on the street EXCEPT for the home where explosion occurred and the two adjacent neighboring homes. That is taking place now.

9:00 pm update: Media updates at the staging area have wrapped up. Please follow us here and on Twitter for further updates.
The scene has been turned over to the PFR Fire Marshal and his investigators. Atmos remains on scene but all other Fire-Rescue crews and other agencies have cleared the scene. Electricity and gas remains off for many of the homes on the street.

Several calls reporting a house explosion in the 4400 block of Cleveland came into Plano 9-1-1 at 4:40pm. Residents say they felt the impact of the blast up to one mile away. Homes across the street had windows blown out.

One resident was in the house that exploded and was taken by ambulance to a Plano hospital.

Five residents in the house on the left (facing the homes) of the home that exploded were home at the time and were also taken to hospitals in ambulances.

One resident who was home on the right of the house that exploded did not suffer any injuries.

Three of the injured were taken to Medical Center of Plano. Three others were transported to Children’s Medical Center Plano.

Plano’s bomb squad is on the scene, which is standard protocol.

Atmos Energy, Oncor and Plano Fire-Rescue investigators are all at the scene trying to determine what caused the explosion. At this point, they do not know the cause and do not want to speculate.

Crews shut off electricity and gas to the entire block, which is also standard protocol.

“We are saddened by today’s tragedy of a house explosion in our city,” said Plano Mayor John Muns. “Several of our residents were injured. We are keeping them and their families close to our hearts and hoping for a swift and full recovery. Plano Fire-Rescue is working diligently to determine the cause of the blast. We’re asking all of you to keep the victims in your prayers.”
