Travis County Fire Rescue and Seguin firefighters recently took part in specialized training at MedtoMarket’s cadaver lab. Crews gained unique hands-on experience and strengthened critical skills with cadavers.

Travis County Fire Rescue has invested in a new high-performance CPR training manikin to help our crews sharpen one of the most critical skills in emergency medical response.

High Performance CPR focuses on teamwork, communication, continuous chest compressions, and performing critical skills as efficiently as possible. Our new training manikin provides real-time feedback, allowing crews to practice, evaluate their performance, and continuously improve.

When someone in our community needs us, we want our crews to be ready.

🎥 Check out the video below to see our crews putting the new training manikin to work and sharpening their High Performance CPR skills.

🚨 Incident Update

Last week, Travis County Fire Rescue crews responded to a large column of smoke south of the airport after a trash fire escaped and spread to a second trash pile.

Firefighters were able to stop the fire's spread and remained on scene to overhaul the area and check for remaining hot spots. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

This incident is a reminder of how quickly a small fire can become a larger problem, especially with the hot, dry conditions we're experiencing across Central Texas.

Here Are Some Tips to Keep Our Community Safe
• Check current burn restrictions before burning
• Never leave a fire unattended
• Keep fires away from dry grass, brush, and structures
• Be cautious with anything that creates heat or sparks
• Never burn when conditions are dry or windy
• Properly extinguish all fires before leaving an area

🚫 Burn bans are currently in effect in Travis, Caldwell, and Hays counties. Please follow all current restrictions and avoid outdoor burning where prohibited.

🚒 Help us protect our communities by preventing fires before they start.

☀️ HEAT WARNING

South-Central Texas is in for another stretch of hot and mostly dry weather, with temperatures climbing into the 90s and reaching above 100°F in some areas. Heat indices could reach 105–110°F, creating dangerous conditions for prolonged outdoor activity.

Stay safe:
• Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty
• Limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day
• Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning
• Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle
• Check on elderly neighbors and others who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat

🔥 Wildfire danger remains a concern.

With dry vegetation and very little rain expected, it doesn't take much to start a brush fire. Vehicle exhaust, trailer chains dragging on pavement, welding and grinding, discarded ci******es, outdoor equipment, and other activities that create heat or sparks can quickly ignite dry grass and brush.

🚫 Burn bans are currently in effect in Travis and Hays counties. Please check current local restrictions before conducting any outdoor burning or activities that could create a fire.

A small spark can become a fast-moving grass fire in a matter of minutes. Help us protect our communities by staying alert, following burn restrictions, and avoiding activities that could start a fire.

🚒 Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay fire aware. Look out for your neighbors.

🚨 Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives.

This week, Travis County Fire Rescue installed smoke detectors within a local home, helping to protect our community.

A working smoke alarm can cut the risk of dying in a home fire by more than half, but only if it's properly installed and maintained. We encourage everyone to test their smoke alarms monthly, replace batteries as needed, and replace smoke alarms every 10 years.

Protecting lives starts with preventing fires before they happen. If you have any questions, please visit: https://www.traviscountyfirerescue.org/

📸 More from this past weekend's brush fire response near Homanville Trail and SH 130.

Thanks to the quick actions of our firefighters, the fire was stopped at approximately 2 acres with no damage to nearby structures and no injuries reported.

As we continue through wildfire season, remember that one spark can quickly become a fast-moving grass fire. Stay aware of your surroundings, use caution with outdoor activities, and help us keep our community safe. Our crews are ready to respond whenever duty calls.

Stay aware, stay safe, and help us prevent the next wildfire.
