🔥 TODAY’S HOUSE FIRE IS EXACTLY WHY THIS MATTERS.

When your home is on fire, you expect trained, experienced firefighters to show up ready to do the job.

But experience and training don’t happen overnight—and when experienced firefighters leave for departments offering better pay, Texarkana loses more than an employee. We lose years of knowledge, training, and experience.

This isn’t just about firefighter pay.

It’s about recruiting quality firefighters, retaining experienced ones, and providing the training they need to protect this community.

When seconds matter, experience matters. Training matters. Staffing matters.

🚒 Investing in your firefighters is investing in YOUR safety.

Texarkana deserves a fire department equipped to protect its citizens today and for years to come.

Your kindness and support mean so much to the men and women who serve our community every day. It’s because of community partners like you that our firefighters feel appreciated and encouraged.

While Texarkana slept, our firefighters went to work.

Last night, the men of the Texarkana Fire Department battled two separate house fires, spending hours in extreme heat, thick smoke, and physically demanding conditions. These weren’t quick calls. They were long, labor-intensive operations that required relentless effort, teamwork, and determination until both fires were brought under control.

Our firefighters don’t get to walk away when the job gets tough. They push through exhaustion, risk, and adversity because that’s what this profession demands. Thanks to their training, grit, and commitment to this community, there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters.

We’re proud of the hard work and dedication these men showed last night. Their commitment to protecting this community never stops, even while the rest of the city is asleep. 🚒🔥

Chief Copeland spent more than 35 years serving the citizens of Texarkana and the Texarkana Fire Department before retiring in 2016. During that time, he built a career that touched nearly every part of the department.

He started as a Firefighter, promoted to Driver/Engineer, served in the Fire Marshal’s Office, promoted to Captain, later became Battalion Chief, served in the Training Division, and even helped LEAD the department for a period of time. He eventually retired from the Fire Marshal’s Office as a Battalion Chief.

That kind of career says a lot about his dedication, knowledge, and commitment to the job.

But Kenny was more than his rank or title. He was one of those people you just didn’t forget. He had a story for everything, a personality all his own, and a way of making an impression on everyone around him.

If you knew Kenny, chances are you have a story about him or you sat through one of his, maybe longer than you planned. But those are the memories that will stick with us.

He gave a lot to this department, this city, and the people around him.

Rest easy, Chief Copeland. You earned it.

FAREWELL FRIDAY:
Today we recognize and celebrate Driver Engineer David Jackson as he moves on to a new chapter in his career with a different fire department.

David dedicated 9 years to our department, including 3 years as a Driver Engineer, where his skill, leadership, and commitment made a lasting impact on our team and community. His experience and presence will truly be missed. It’s not easy to replace someone who brings so much knowledge and dedication to the job every day.

While it’s always tough to say goodbye, we’re proud to see David take the next step toward greater opportunities for himself and his family. We know he’ll continue to do great things in his new department.

From all of us at Local 367, thank you for your service, your hard work, and your brotherhood. Wishing you nothing but success and safety in this next journey.

Stay safe, brother. 🚒
