Today we want to give a huge THANK YOU to A Shift for their hard work, dedication, and commitment during our boot drive fundraiser. From the early hours to the late evening traffic, these firefighters stood out in the heat with one goal in mind — supporting our community and serving with pride.

We also want to thank every single person who stopped by to donate, honked, waved, shared encouragement, or simply took a moment to support us. Your generosity and kindness mean more than words can express. Because of this community, we are able to continue supporting the mission and programs that help us serve Hunt County.

The support we’ve seen throughout this boot drive has been incredible, and it’s a reminder of how strong this community truly is. We are beyond grateful for everyone who helped make today a success.

From all of us at South Hunt County Fire Rescue — thank you for standing behind your firefighters and showing what community is all about. 🚒❤️

🚒 TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY! 🚒

This weekend has been nothing short of incredible, and we are beyond thankful for the overwhelming support shown by our community during the annual Boot Drive. Every donation, wave, honk, prayer, and kind word means more than you know.

Our firefighters have spent the last several days out in the heat working hard, meeting members of the community, and continuing a tradition that helps support our department and the services we provide to South Hunt County.

To everyone who has stopped by and donated — THANK YOU. Your generosity directly supports the mission of serving and protecting our communities every single day.

If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, there’s still time! Our crews will be out one final day collecting donations, and we would love to see you out there.

Come say hello, snap a photo with your local firefighters, and help us finish this Boot Drive strong! 🇺🇸🔥

From all of us at South Hunt County Fire Rescue:
Thank you for standing behind your firefighters and supporting your local department. We couldn’t do this without you.

On this Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others. Their courage, selflessness, and dedication will never be forgotten.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or the beginning of summer — it is a day of reflection. A day to remember those who answered the call to serve, stood in the face of danger, and gave everything for something greater than themselves. Their sacrifice continues to inspire gratitude and remembrance in communities across the country.

We remember the heroes who never made it home. The empty seats at family tables. The families, friends, and fellow service members who carry their memory forward every day. Their legacy lives on not only in history, but in the hearts of so many.

Today, we honor their lives, their service, and their sacrifice. We remember the strength they showed, the courage they carried, and the profound impact they left behind. May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we continue to live in a way that honors their memory.

From all of us at SHCFR, we extend our deepest gratitude to the fallen heroes of our armed forces and to the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.Always remembered. Never forgotten. 🇺🇸

Huge shoutout to C Shift for all the amazing work they put in today during the Boot Drive! 👏🔥

From the early hours to the heat of the afternoon, our crews spent the day out in the community collecting donations, meeting supporters, and representing South Hunt County Fire Rescue with pride. The support from everyone who stopped by, donated, honked, waved, or shared encouragement means more than words can say. ❤️

These boot drives are only successful because of the dedication of our firefighters and the incredible generosity of our community. Thank you to everyone who helped make today a success!

🚒 Don’t forget — A Shift will be back out tomorrow for the FINAL day of the Boot Drive! Be sure to stop by, say hello, and help us finish strong!

Friday, Captain K. Searl and Firefighter S. Waller attended the Forged in Fire Leadership Seminar hosted by TEEX and taught by fire service leader Frank Viscuso.

The class focused on leadership, accountability, team culture, and what it takes to build a strong department from the inside out. The seminar also highlighted lessons from Frank Viscuso’s book, Flash Point: Forge a Winning Team Culture.

At SHCFR, we know being better for our community starts with being better for each other — and maybe drinking just a little too much coffee along the way. Training isn’t only about pulling hose and fighting fire; it’s about leadership, mindset, teamwork, and learning how to keep calm when everything around you definitely is not.

Opportunities like this are made possible through the incredible support of our community and the generous donations we receive throughout the year. Your support allows us to send our crews to valuable trainings that strengthen leadership, teamwork, and the skills needed to better serve South Hunt County. We truly appreciate everyone who continues to invest in our department and our firefighters.

Stay safe, South Hunt County Fire Rescue.
