We are happy to inform that Maggie has been adopted! If you were interested in Maggie, check out @epanimalsvc !! There’s always a furry friend looking for the forever home!

Maggie is as sweet as they come. You’re sure to get caught up in a whirlwind of love with this girl. She’s happy to sit quietly by your side and lend a listening ear as she does with Firefighter Razo. As a five-year-old boxer-mix, she knows how to be the perfect companion, and how can you not fall in love with her soulful brown eyes? Maggie would fit in with any family as she loves cats, dogs whether large or small and especially loves kids—being with young humans makes her tail wag! Come to El Paso Animal Services to meet sweet Maggie today; her adoption fee will be waived when you mention that you saw her on the #EPFD #FurryFriday!

Earlier this morning, #EPFD crews responded to a Condition 3 house fire in the 700 block of Villa Flores Dr. During their primary search, crews found deceased the sole occupant of the house at that time. A total of 19 units and 44 personnel responded to the incident.

Today, the El Paso Fire Dept. hosted its annual 9/11 memorial ceremony to remember all those who perished in the attacks of September 11, 2011. EPPD Lieutenant Schneider, who formerly was an NYPD officer during the attacks, was the keynote speaker for the ceremony. Combined Fire/Police Pipes & Drums and Honor Guard teams performed Taps and the Last Alarm for our fallen brothers and sisters. September 11, 2001, was the deadliest day in history for New York City firefighters and paramedics: 343 were killed. 23 NYPD and 37 Port Authority officers lost their lives trying to evacuate everyone from the World Trade Center. A total of 2,996 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. Today, we remember those who lost their lives on #Sept11. Today, we honor their sacrifice. And forever will we keep them in our hearts and minds. #NeverForget

The El Paso Firefighters Bagpipes and Drums are looking to expand the band. We will be starting a new bagpipe class and are looking for El Paso area firefighters and family members of firefighters to join. No previous bagpipe experience is required, as we will be teaching the class from bare basics including reading music. We will be holding two informational presentations where we will demonstrate bagpipe music discuss requirements and answer any questions regarding the band. The presentations will take place at the Firefighter Hall (3112 Forney Ln.) on September 24th and 25th at 6:00 pm to give all shifts an opportunity to attend. Contact FF Juan A. Olivarez by email (OlivarezJA@elpasotexas.gov) or phone (915-309-3947) should you have any questions.
