  • NEWSROOM: APPROPRIATE ACTION TAKEN

    March 7, 2024 

    It was brought to our attention that two local firefighters on state deployment as part of the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System removed animal antlers off of a landowner’s property in the Panhandle this week.

    We take this seriously and do not tolerate this kind of behavior. The actions of these individuals do not represent TIFMAS’ dedicated service and commitment to the people of Texas.

    Appropriate action has been taken to remedy the situation, including immediate removal from the wildfire incident and referral back to the firefighters’ home departments for additional discipline.

    Actions such as this will not be tolerated and anyone who engages in this behavior will be barred from participation in TIFMAS and all future state deployments.
