Port Arthur Professional Firefighters Association

We want to be firemen. We want the opportunity to make the difference. Most of us want to do the job.

The safety culture puts an emphasis on safety of our crews over the citizens. It puts rescue operations, aggressive searches and attacks at the end of the scene priorities.

We’re showing up and moving with a purpose. We didn’t take the oath to sit in the yard and wait on two more to arrive before entering. We’re not here to ventilate the structure before searching the structure, at that point it’s recovery. The structure isn’t clear until we say it’s clear. It’s our job to put them first. Them before us. If you don’t agree, Walmart is hiring for better pay. They have to trust that you are doing everything in your power to make the situation better. You signed up to do this. Can they count on you?

The members of Groves Professional Firefighters Association Local 1905 stand with our brothers and sisters in Conroe and support their fight to let the voters decide.

Our community approved collective bargaining and binding arbitration in 2021, and those tools have been a great success for our firefighters and our city. They have provided a fair, professional process that allows labor and management to work through important issues while maintaining a strong working relationship.

The voters of Conroe deserve the same opportunity we were given: let the voters decide.

Stay strong, Conroe Professional Fire Fighters Association. You have our support.

Last week, our firefighters had the opportunity to participate in multiple active threat response scenarios alongside the Groves Police Department, Port Neches Fire Department, Port Neches Police Department, and Central Dispatch across several PNGISD campuses. These realistic training exercises allowed our members to serve in a variety of critical roles, including first responding officers, Rescue Task Force personnel, and Incident/Unified Command.

Our members are grateful to work for departments that take active threat preparedness seriously and are committed to providing opportunities to conduct and attend this type of training. Between the Groves Police and Fire Departments, we are fortunate to have multiple ALERRT AAIR and ALERRT Level I Certified Instructors who not only provide this training within our own city, but also teach and support agencies throughout Southeast Texas. Their expertise and commitment help ensure our responders remain prepared to protect our schools and community when it matters most.
