Today we’d like to recognize someone who often works behind the scenes but makes a tremendous impact on our department and so many others—our Emergency Management Coordinator, Keith.
An Emergency Management Coordinator is much more than someone who sits behind a desk. Keith is always there when he’s needed, whether that’s coordinating resources during emergencies, helping departments secure the resources they need, or rolling up his sleeves to pick up a hose and jump on a fire truck alongside us. He never hesitates to do whatever the situation calls for.
Volunteer fire departments depend on strong partnerships, and Keith has been one of our biggest supporters time and time again. His dedication, leadership, and willingness to serve have strengthened not only our department, but emergency response throughout our county.
Keith, thank you for always having our backs. We want you to know that we’ll continue to have yours, just as you’ve had ours so many times over.
As discussions continue regarding the future of the Emergency Management Coordinator position, we encourage everyone who understands the value this role brings to our community to attend the upcoming Commissioners Court meeting and respectfully make your voice heard. This position is vital to the safety and preparedness of our county, and we believe it should remain in place.
Please join us in thanking Keith for his unwavering commitment to public safety and for everything he does for volunteer fire departments and the citizens of our county.
Keith Burch
