Some calls stay with you long after the sirens go quiet and the smoke clears.

195 smoke detectors were installed in 65 homes!

Last December, our department responded to a heartbreaking structure fire right here in Lewisville, a tragedy that resulted in the devastating loss of members of our own community. It’s the kind of loss that leaves an ache in our hearts and a quiet promise in our minds: never again on our watch if we can help it.
Partnering with the incredible volunteers from the American Red Cross, our crews hit the streets, going door to door through the neighborhood to install free, life-saving smoke detectors.
A working smoke detector isn't just plastic on a ceiling, it’s precious minutes. It’s the difference between waking up in time to get your family out or facing tragedy.
We don't just answer 911 calls; we protect the people we love. Lewisville isn't just where we work, it’s our home, and you are our family.
Please take 60 seconds tonight to push the test button on your smoke alarms. We are here to serve, protect, and stand with you every single day.

Atmos Energy crews and contractors will be in several areas of Lewisville performing safety surveys of their natural gas distribution system using mobile leak detection units. The units will be out in the evening and overnight hours, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., starting Sunday, Oct. 11 through Thursday, Oct. 15.

Mobile leak detection units are white SUV’s with flashing lights and are labeled with an Atmos Energy logo or “Utility Contractor.” The unit will be driving slowly in the street and alley at night, which ensures an accurate survey of the gas system.

As part of this routine maintenance, if a natural gas leak is discovered, crews will investigate and grade the leak. If a Grade 1 (hazardous leak) is found, immediate action will be taken to eliminate the hazard. Grade 2 and 3 leaks are monitored and scheduled for repair based on state and federal guidelines.

No high anchors overhead? Make your own.
Basement fires and below-grade emergencies present a unique nightmare: fighting gravity in zero-visibility conditions with limited clearance. At the Lewisville Fire Conference, these crews took a tough scenario and engineered a clean way out.
Using just an interior door frame, two firefighters built a solid makeshift high point on the fly, rigged an MA haul system, and successfully lifted a downed firefighter out of a basement trap.
Smooth mechanics, solid teamwork, zero excuses. Big shoutout to all the instructors and attendees pushing the craft forward.
