📝 LESSONS FROM THE FIRE: Minutes Matter, Move Over! 📝

Earlier today, Klein Fire Department Engine 32 responded to an apartment fire to provide mutual aid to Ponderosa Fire Department. Thanks to quick work by Ponderosa, Harris County ESD 17 - Little York Fire Department and Spring Fire Department, the fire on a second-floor balcony was safely contained.

But today’s biggest lesson didn’t happen on the fire scene - it happened on the road.

It took our Engine crew longer to arrive than it should have. Why? Because drivers on the road would not yield or move over for our lights and sirens. Fires double in size every minute. So seconds can mean the difference between saving a home and a devastating loss. When we are blocked, lives and property are at risk.

⚠️ MOVE TO THE RIGHT FOR LIGHTS AND SIRENS ⚠️

When you see emergency lights or hear sirens, please safely pull over to the right and come to a complete stop. Help us get to your neighbors in their time of need. Next time, it could be your emergency.

Our Promise to Protect. Our Passion to Serve. We Are Harris County ESD 16, Klein Fire Department.
