VERY PROUD OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE. WE'VE BUILT.
NOW OUR CAREER STAFF IS 278 STRONG AND IT'S OVER NINE STATIONS.
SO I STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 1991 AS A FIREFIGHTER.
PARAMEDIC MOVED UP THE LADDER TO LIEUTENANT CAPTAIN, BATTALION CHIEF, DEPUTY CHIEF, ASSISTANT CHIEF, AND ALL THE WAY TO FIRE CHIEF. DURING THAT TIME, I WORKED FOR TWO DIFFERENT CHIEFS, MANY DIFFERENT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, LOTS OF FIREFIGHTERS IN OUR ORGANIZATION. I WILL AT ALL TIMES ACT IN A PROFESSIONAL, RESPECTFUL MANNER AND PROMOTE RESPECT AND INTEGRITY IN THE FRISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT'S BEEN FUN. THE FIRST ONE I'VE DONE IS FIRE CHIEF, BUT I'VE BEEN BEEN DOING MANY OF THESE OVER THE YEARS, AND IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO GET OUT WITH THE CITIZENS.
IT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO TO COME OUT HERE ONE NIGHT A YEAR.
EVERY YEAR. IT'S FUN TO GET OUT AND SEE THE COMMUNITY AND MEET THE CITIZENS.
SO FAR IT'S BEEN STILL PRETTY NORMAL. OUR CITIZENS AND VISITORS HAVE STAYED INSIDE.
I HAD ONE PAID FIREFIGHTER WHEN THIS BUILDING WAS FIRST OPENED, AND IT TOOK THE PLACE OF THE FIRE STATION BEFORE THAT WHICH WHICH YOU CAN FIND UNDERNEATH THE OLD FRISCO WATER TOWER ON SEVENTH STREET.
ANYTIME YOU CAN OPEN A FIRE STATION AND ADD SERVICES TO AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU. YOU GOT TO THANK THE COMMUNITY. ONE FOR VOTING YES ON THE BONDS.
HE BRAVELY ANSWERED THE CALL THAT MORNING AND MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
WE MAKE ONE TEAM, AND WE'RE ALL POINTED IN THE SAME DIRECTION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE
THE BEST SERVICE AT ALL TIMES.
