WILDFIRE DEPLOYMENT UPDATE
Our office continues to have personnel and resources deployed at the request of the State of Texas in support of ongoing wildfire response operations.
Multiple members of our office, joined by personnel from several Montgomery County fire departments, are currently assigned to the Ross Fire in Palo Pinto and Jack counties. Our team has been supporting fire operations while serving in multiple Command and General Staff positions.
Earlier this week, the State requested additional support for this complex incident, and we answered the call by deploying our Mobile Operations Center for use by the incident management team on scene. Additionally, one member of our office remains deployed in a statewide logistics role, delivering mission-critical supplies to the Texas A&M Forest Service throughout the state.
We are proud to have our personnel serving with multiple statewide response teams, including Texas Incident Management Teams, the Texas Incident Support Task Force and the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System. These teams respond to incidents across Texas throughout the year, and our staff play an integral role in their missions.
These deployments allow us to provide vital assistance to communities and responders during critical incidents while gaining valuable, hands-on experience that strengthens our preparedness and response capabilities here at home.
Please continue to keep all firefighters, support personnel and affected communities in your thoughts and prayers.
