ONE OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S HAPPY ENDINGS
In a profession that can take its toll on the emotions of the employees,
Fire Rescue Specialists certainly enjoy celebrating the happy endings.
This young man visited the firemen and paramedics at Sachse's Fire Station
No. 2 who saved his life following his near-fatal drowning. Who knows,
perhaps he will grow up to follow in the footsteps of those that provided
him a second chance.
PLEASE
TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT THIS TRAGEDY
Sachse Fire Rescue would like to remind everyone to make sure your smoke detectors work. A devastating fire like this
one could take more than the house; it could take a life. Smoke
detectors that work and an exit plan should be an important part of your
home.
