Dallas Fire-Rescue

🚒🔥Today, Dallas Fire-Rescue proudly recognizes the members of Engine 8 and Battalion 3C for receiving an Outstanding Unit Citation, along with Fire-Rescue Officers Dustin McCrory and Trevor Walsh, who were each awarded the Fireground Excellence Award for their lifesaving actions during a structure fire on February 14, 2026.

Engine 8 and Battalion 3C responded to a two-story apartment fire on Annex Avenue and arrived to find heavy smoke showing and a civilian trapped at a second-floor window. Under the direction of Acting Battalion Chief Kevin Carlin, Engine 8 quickly shifted into rescue mode.

Fire-Rescue Officer Dustin McCrory positioned and stabilized a 24-foot extension ladder while Fire-Rescue Officer Trevor Walsh climbed through worsening heat and smoke to reach the victim at the window. Working together under intense conditions, they removed the civilian from immediate danger and transferred the victim to Rescue 8 for care.

Two calls. Two cardiac arrests. Two lives saved.
❤️👏
Today, Dallas Fire-Rescue recognized members from Station 32 and EMS Supervisor 783 with Life Saving Awards for two separate incidents where outstanding prehospital care made all the difference.

On October 22, 2025, crews treated a 62-year-old woman found unresponsive. After immediate CPR, several shocks, and more than 20 minutes of sustained effort, crews regained a pulse before reaching the hospital. She later walked out of the hospital.

On November 11, 2025, crews responded to a 34-year-old man who was unresponsive. Through CPR, defibrillation, and epinephrine, they were able to save his life. He also later walked out of the hospital.

These two incidents are powerful reminders that excellent prehospital care saves lives. Today we honor the Station 32 members and EMS Supervisor 783 whose calm, decisive actions made these outcomes possible.

Please join us in congratulating these members on two well-earned Life Saving Awards.🚑🔥🚒
