🔥 TX EMTF Surges Resources as Wildfire Activity Increases Across Texas
As wildfire activity increases across the state, the Texas Emergency Medical Task Force has surged additional personnel and medical resources to support firefighters and communities impacted by ongoing incidents, including the Ross Fire in Palo Pinto and Jack counties and the Rio Escondido Fire in Hamilton County.
TX EMTF Wildland Fire Support Teams and other specialized medical resources are deploying and repositioning across Texas as operational needs evolve. Our members are working alongside firefighters on the front lines, providing dedicated medical support, responder rehabilitation, and rapid access to emergency medical care in the challenging wildland environment.
We’re proud to serve alongside responders mobilized through the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS), Texas Division of Emergency Management, Texas A&M Forest Service, Texas Military Department, and fire, EMS, and emergency management partners from across Texas.
