We want to say a huge thank you to Roger & Lisa Wilhelm for letting us conduct a great realistic training in a house fire situation. This morning we conducted a search and rescue with roof venting. We went over the importance of communation, working as a team during the search trying to find a victim just like a real life scenario. Later the firemen vented the roof, they te**es the roof for soundness before firemen got on the roof for the venting process. Also, being up on the roof during the venting process allows for our fireman to study where the fire could be so they knew where the best vent would help inside the structure. Overall it was a great morning to refresh some skills and work as a team. Burnover Plas-Mac, Inc.

This organization is top notch, that supports the Panhandle in so many ways. With their help we can keep going to service and protect our community and surrounding area. The $10,000 dollars will be used to make sure our equipment is always ready to serve.

The 100 Club of the Texas Panhandle, for the ones that don't know about it please look them up an become a member to such a great team. They didn't just bless this department with money but most importantly they prayed over us at the end before they left. That's when you know they are servants of God. Many thanks again to Suzanne and Julie

We've got some cumulus clouds building in the eastern Panhandles. While we only may not see much in coverage for the thunderstorms today we do expect something to develop in the next 1 to 3 hours (between 4 and 7pm). If a storm develops it will have the potential to be strong to possibly severe, with damaging winds and large hail as the primary threats.
