Today we had the privilege, along with the Parker County OES, to deliver an entire trailer load of water and snacks to help keep our firefighters hydrated, fueled, and going as they work to protect our communities. All thanks to our generous and supportive partner Costco!🚒💪

It’s moments like this that remind us what happens when a community comes together. Thank you, Costco, for showing up in such a BIG way for the men and women who are showing up for all of us. ❤️

United, we are stronger. 🇺🇸

SUPPORTING ONE OF OUR OWN

Palo Pinto County ESD No. 1 and Sacred Cross EMS are coming together to support one of our first responders following the unimaginable tragedy in Parker County Monday night.

For the past eight years, he has served with Sacred Cross EMS, dedicating himself to caring for others and providing emergency medical services to the communities we serve.

Now, it is our turn to take care of one of our own.

Since news of this tragedy became public, we have received an overwhelming outpouring of concern from our community, fellow first responders and public safety agencies asking how they can help.

Sacred Cross EMS and Palo Pinto County ESD No. 1 are working with local media to establish an official benevolent fund to support him as he navigates the difficult days and months ahead.

We will share verified donation information as soon as arrangements are finalized. Until then, we ask those wishing to contribute to please wait for information shared through our official channels.

Our priority remains surrounding our first responder with the support he needs while protecting his privacy. We respectfully ask our community and members of the media to continue honoring that privacy during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, offered assistance and kept him in your thoughts and prayers.

When one of our own is hurting, we stand together.
