Sullivan City Fire Dept.

06/06/2026

Last night, our department responded to a structure fire within our community. Thanks to the rapid response, professionalism, and teamwork displayed by all agencies involved, crews were able to quickly address the incident and work toward protecting lives and property.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Commissioner Everardo "Ever" Villarreal for his continued support of our department. The recently acquired Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and breathing equipment provided to our firefighters were put into service during last night's fire and played a critical role in ensuring firefighter safety while operating in hazardous conditions.

We also want to recognize our firefighters and Sullivan City Police Department for their immediate response and dedication to serving our community. Their commitment, training, and coordinated efforts were instrumental throughout the incident.

Additionally, we extend our gratitude to the Palmview Professional Firefighters Association for their mutual aid assistance. Their support exemplifies the strong partnerships that exist between neighboring agencies and the importance of working together during emergency situations.

The safety of our community remains our highest priority. We thank all responding personnel for their hard work, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to public service.

**Together, we stand ready to serve.**

Today, May 4th, we honor the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every single day—our firefighters. 🚒🔥
International Firefighters’ Day is more than just a date. It’s a moment to remember the heroes we’ve lost, to thank those still serving, and to recognize the sacrifices made not only by them, but by their families as well.
From rushing into burning buildings to responding to emergencies when others are running away, firefighters embody courage, strength, and selflessness. Their commitment to protecting our communities does not go unnoticed.
Today, we stand in gratitude. We remember the fallen. We support the living. And we continue to respect the badge, the uniform, and the heart behind it all.
Thank you for your service. ❤️💙
