Council recognizes Lufkin firefighters deployed to Kerrville flood response
Summary
City leaders acknowledged Lufkin firefighters and paramedics who deployed to assist search, evacuation and strike‑team activities in the Kerrville/Guadalupe River flood response, including an engine crew and an ambulance involved in evacuating a nursing home.
The Lufkin City Council recognized local firefighters and paramedics deployed to assist with flood response and search operations in the Kerrville area. Council leadership asked Assistant Fire Chief Jesse to update the council. Jesse said, “We have a 4 man engine crew that’s out, and they’re doing, assisting in the search for victims along the river. Last time I talked to him, it was in Kerrville. We have an ambulance that’s out there as well.” He added that crews assisted with evacuating a nursing home during the recent flooding. Council members asked residents to keep the deployed crews and the affected families “in your thoughts and prayers,” and the mayor said he expected crews to be working in the area for an extended period. No official action or policy changes were made; the recognition was an acknowledgment and public expression of support for the emergency responders.
