We would like to share this video as a tribute to Ryche's 20 years of service to Community VFD. Ryche climbing the 100 foot ladder of Tower 93 is very symbolic of his fight against cancer. Ryche was terminal at the time this was filmed, and his strength was not what it once was. That didn't stop him though. This was his first and only time to climb to the top of one of our aerials, and he was so proud of his accomplishment. He fought through some hard spots near the top, but he never gave up and kept on climbing. Ryche has now climbed to the top of his fight against cancer. While he will be sincerely missed, we are comforted in knowing that he has conquered the disease in a way in which it can no longer cause any further suffering for him. Rest in Peace, Ryche. We'll take it from here. Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a firefighter? We welcomed Unspeakable to give it a try at the Stephen R. Fowler Training Facility.

COMMUNITY EVENTS An in-service fire station crew and fire truck will visit public events sponsored by a nonprofit organization, a school, or a neighborhood association. If a fire crew attends your event, they will typically remain “in service” and stage the apparatus somewhere that allows them to leave quickly if they are dispatched to an emergency. Responding to an emergency may cause the crew to be late to the event, to have to leave abruptly, or in some cases, to not show up at all. To request a fire truck at your next event, please contact us here or call our Community Outreach Team at (281) 854-6947.

The ultimate goal of the Health & Safety Division is to minimize all occupational accidents, injuries, illnesses, and exposures to hazardous atmospheres and contagious diseases. DIVISIONS Operations Special Operations Training Health & Safety Community Outreach Logistics Tactical EMS Honor Guard Incident Safety The Health & Safety Division has a small group on Incident Safety Officers who respond to major incidents where they monitor and assess hazards and unsafe situations to ensure safe operations to efficiently mitigate the emergency incident.
