The Last Alarm Fire Company wants to offer our deepest condolences to the Wheeler Fire Department and the family of Chief Ken Daughtry.
The Texas Panhandle is safer because of his leadership and poorer for his loss. We join the entire fire service community in a final salute to a dedicated public servant.
Rest in peace, Chief.

What does dignity for a fallen firefighter look like? At Last Alarm Fire Company, we believe it looks like a final, honorable ride that reflects their ultimate sacrifice. The funds from this raffle are going directly toward restoring the beautiful 1949 Mack fire truck you see in these photos.
Once fully operational, this apparatus will serve the 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle, transporting the caskets of our fallen brothers and sisters. Our mission ensures that our local heroes receive the dignified farewell they deserve, without forcing local fire departments to leave their communities short on fire protection to do so.
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We can't do this without the support of our incredible community. Get your tickets today and help us honor those who gave their all!
Proudly honoring the service, sacrifice, and selflessness of our fallen brothers and sisters.

Bringing a Legend Back to Life for Our Heroes 🚒🇺🇸
We are making steady progress on the restoration of our 1949 Mack Fire Truck, but this is so much more than just fixing up an old rig. Every bolt turned and every layer of paint restored brings us one step closer to our mission: ensuring that every fallen firefighter in the Texas Panhandle receives the dignified "Last Alarm" service they deserve.

We need your help to cross the finish line.
Restoring a 75-year-old fire engine to operational capacity is a massive undertaking. You can support this mission right now by purchasing a Raffle Ticket! Every dollar goes directly toward the parts, labor, and equipment needed to get this truck ready for service.

As we approach the new year, the Last Alarm Fire Company pauses to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by the men and women who serve the top 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle.
While 2024 was marked by the tragic losses of Chief Zeb Smith (Fritch) and Assistant Chief Scott Glass (Perryton), the year 2025 has been a season of continued vigilance. Though the Panhandle fire service was spared any line-of-duty deaths during this calendar year, the weight of those previous "Last Alarms" continues to be felt in every station and at every family table.
Looking Back with Gratitude
As we welcome 2026, we continue to honor the legacies of those who stood on the front lines when our region needed them most. We remember:
• Chief Zebulin "Zeb" Smith (Fritch VFD): A man with a "servant’s heart" who was a tireless advocate for his community and the safety of his fellow firefighters.
• Assistant Chief Scott Glass (Perryton Fire & EMS): A veteran leader whose steady hand guided his department through some of the most challenging calls in our history.
Their families and departments remain in our prayers. A firefighter's sacrifice doesn't end with the final call; it lives on in the traditions we uphold and the brother/sisterhood we provide to those they left behind.
A Message to Our Panhandle Heroes
To the firefighters currently on watch in the Panhandle: Thank you. Whether you are a volunteer or career, you represent the best of us. You are the ones who run toward the smoke while others run away, and you do so with the knowledge that your community depends on you.
Our New Year’s Promise
The Last Alarm Fire Company remains dedicated to its mission. We are here to provide dignified services and to ensure that the heritage of the fire service remains strong.
As the calendar turns, we pray for:
• Safety on every scene and every roadway.
• Strength for the families who wait for your return.
• Peace for those still mourning a fallen hero.
Happy New Year to the Texas Panhandle. We stand ready to honor you, and we pray we never have to.
