| San Leon Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to provide mutual aid to the Bacliff Volunteer Fire Department, along with the Dickinson Fire Department, for a structure fire.
San Leon was requested to respond with Tanker 1, a 3,000-gallon tanker. Upon arrival, Tanker 1 positioned behind Bacliff Engine 22 and supplied its tank water to support ongoing fire suppression operations. The Tanker 1 crew also assisted with defensive fire operations alongside the other departments on scene.
One resident was reportedly transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. One small dog was found deceased inside the residence.
The continued teamwork between mutual-aid fire departments makes a significant difference in fireground operations and firefighter safety. Departments work together, train together, and depend on one another to operate safely, efficiently, and professionally. When the alarms sound, department patches and jurisdictional lines take a back seat. Personnel respond as a unified team, with the shared mission to protect lives, protect property, and ensure the safety of everyone involved. |
