PROUD MEMBER OF: THE GRAYSON COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF FIRE CHIEF'S
While there has historically been informal dialogue between Fire Chief Officers, never have we been as organized as we are today. In June 2004 the first meeting was held between all of the Grayson County Fire Departments to discuss forming a county wide Fire Service association, in the following month July 2004 the Grayson County Association of Fire Chiefs was formed. The benefits to this collaboration are to form many County wide standards of operation thru out the Fire and EMS services provided by all 19 Departments to the citizens of Grayson County.
With the possibilities of a County wide emergencies upon us every day which could necessitate the combined efforts of many Fire Departments working as one to insure the safety of the citizens and property of Grayson County, with this in mind it is critical that we form a standards of operation thru out the County. To list a few goals the association is currently working on, I would like to start with our accountability standards project for our Fire Fighters to insure safety for the rescuers when multiple departments are responding to the same emergency, second is a County wide Fire and EMS radio frequency that is needed for communication between responding Departments and the county dispatch which is currently handled in the Grayson sheriffs office.
The primary mission of the Grayson County Association of Fire Chiefs is to support the Grayson County Fire Departments in their endeavors to provide their communities and fire districts with fire protection, fire prevention, emergency medical services and training. As well as in bringing together its departments to discuss ways and means for the betterment of the fire services and reducing unnecessary loss of life and property; to exchange ideas and all questions affecting the fire services; to develop a bond of friendship and understanding among the members of the fire service; to promote the development of the fire service through a progressive program of education, public relations and legislation." as well as funding to carry out those responsibilities. We are dedicated to being a leader in preserving life from the threat of fire and other disasters within Grayson County and surrounding areas by promoting fire prevention.
