With Halloween activities approaching, please take a moment to review these important safety precautions to help keep our little ghosts and goblins safe! 👻

🎃 A friendly reminder to parents and guardians: Before heading out to trick-or-treat, take time to check the Texas Public S*x Offender Registry and be aware of registered offenders in your area. Plan your route accordingly and avoid residences where you have safety concerns.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Carthage Book Club!

Carthage Fire Department had the pleasure of welcoming the wonderful ladies of the Carthage Book Club to our newly remodeled fire station today for their meeting!

These ladies have a special place in our hearts! Thanks to their kindness and generosity, our firefighters now have a beautiful, comfortable living room and dining room where they can relax, share a meal, and enjoy some downtime between calls.

Ladies, we can’t thank you enough for caring about our firefighters and making our fire station feel a little more like home!

We are truly blessed to have friends like you supporting our department!

⭐ Employee of the Month – Jose Santos Jimenez ⭐

The City of Carthage is proud to recognize Jose Santos Jimenez as our August Employee of the Month!

With an incredible 25 years of dedicated service to the City—including 10 years on the trash truck and 15 years at the Water Plant—Jose has become an invaluable member of our team.

His exceptional knowledge, reliability, and strong work ethic are especially evident during the busy summer months when water usage is at its highest. He arrives 20 minutes early every day and is dependable when problems arise. Jose consistently goes above and beyond to identify and resolve issues.

His dedication is reflected in the personal notebook he has maintained for 15 years, documenting Water Plant issues and solutions (in English and Spanish) to preserve valuable knowledge for the City and his fellow employees.

We are grateful for Jose’s 25 years of service, commitment, and dedication to the City of Carthage and our community. Congratulations, Jose! 👏⭐

🇺🇸 WOW, Carthage and Panola County! 🇺🇸

On behalf of the Carthage Fire Department, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came out today to support our 911 Walk of Remembrance! ❤️

Our community truly showed up and showed out! We were hoping for 412 participants—one for each first responder who paid the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. Because of YOU, we surpassed that number!

Your presence, support, and willingness to remember mean more than words can express. Today was a powerful reminder of the strength, unity, and compassion of our community.

We are incredibly proud to serve Carthage and Panola County, and we are grateful for each and every person who walked alongside us today.

We remember. We honor. We will never Forget!
