🚨 FIRE SAFETY ADVISORY – ELEVATED FIRE DANGER 🚨

The Rio Grande Valley is currently experiencing hot, dry, and windy conditions, creating an increased risk for grass and brush fires. Under these conditions, a single spark can quickly develop into a fast-moving fire that threatens lives, homes, and property.

The Sullivan City Fire Department urges everyone to use extreme caution:

🔥 Do not burn trash, brush, or debris.
🚬 Properly dispose of cigarettes—never throw them from a vehicle.
🚗 Avoid parking vehicles on dry grass, as hot exhaust systems can ignite vegetation.
⚙️ Use caution when operating equipment that can create sparks.
🏕️ Keep outdoor cooking and recreational fires attended at all times and ensure they are completely extinguished before leaving.

Every resident plays an important role in preventing wildfires. Taking a few extra precautions today can help protect our community tomorrow.

If you see smoke or discover a fire, call 9-1-1 immediately. Early notification allows firefighters to respond quickly and reduce the potential for fire spread.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep the Rio Grande Valley safe.

Stay alert. Stay prepared. Help prevent fires.

Last night, our department responded to a structure fire within our community. Thanks to the rapid response, professionalism, and teamwork displayed by all agencies involved, crews were able to quickly address the incident and work toward protecting lives and property.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Commissioner Everardo "Ever" Villarreal for his continued support of our department. The recently acquired Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and breathing equipment provided to our firefighters were put into service during last night's fire and played a critical role in ensuring firefighter safety while operating in hazardous conditions.

We also want to recognize our firefighters and Sullivan City Police Department for their immediate response and dedication to serving our community. Their commitment, training, and coordinated efforts were instrumental throughout the incident.

Additionally, we extend our gratitude to the Palmview Professional Firefighters Association for their mutual aid assistance. Their support exemplifies the strong partnerships that exist between neighboring agencies and the importance of working together during emergency situations.

The safety of our community remains our highest priority. We thank all responding personnel for their hard work, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to public service.

**Together, we stand ready to serve.**
