Denton Fire Fighter's Association Local 1291

03/11/2026

Last week, all 4 mayoral candidates gathered at Dan’s for the Denton Fire Fighter's Association Local 1291 forum. That’s something they hold every election cycle to inform the public and hold candidates to account on a number of issues.

The event got pretty heated, especially in the last few questions and between Beck and Watts. Angela made the unity argument and Shannon turned into a stand up comedian.

Here’s the forum in full. Tonight there’s another one with all of the city council candidates. Hopefully the stage is big enough.

Angela Brewer for Denton
Shannon Childs
Brian Beck for Denton Mayor
Chris Watts for Denton Mayor

💧 Tool Spotlight: The Pressurized Water Extinguisher 💧

This week we're shining the spotlight on one of our most versatile and underrated tools: the pressurized water Extinguisher (or as it is affectionately known - "The Can")

This 2.5-gallon extinguisher is filled with plain water (and sometimes a little dish detergent) and pressurized with 100 PSI of air to deliver a powerful stream that can knock down or extinguish small fires quickly - before they grow into something bigger.

Why do we love it?
• It's perfect for incipient-stage fires like kitchen incidents (non-grease), trash, or room contents.
• Gives us about 50 seconds of continuous discharge - enough to buy time for a full attack line or rescue.
• Reaches up to 50 feet and it's lightweight enough to carry on alarms or interior ops.
• Helps confine fire, cool hot spots, or even protect crews during quick knockdowns.

The can is an indispensable part of our arsenal as it can extinguish an impressive amount of fire for its size.

Pro tip: When used right, just 2.5 gallons can make a huge difference—checking fire spread, protecting exits, or giving us precious seconds to get to victims or control the scene.

Your Denton Firefighters carry these on rigs for good reason—they're simple, reliable, and save property (and lives) every day.

Stay safe out there, Denton! If you see us with one, now you know it's not just a doorstop 😉
