Conroe Fire Department

The US National Weather Service Houston-Galveston Texas is highlighting the potential for periods of heavy rainfall across Southeast Texas late Thursday into Friday.

For the Conroe area, the latest outlook shows the potential for around 2-3 inches of rainfall in a higher-end scenario, with locally higher amounts possible depending on where the heaviest showers and thunderstorms develop.

Please continue to monitor the forecast over the next couple of days, especially if you live or travel through flood-prone areas.

This morning, we held a promotional ceremony for four personnel, new Engine/Operators Michael Genovesi, Ryan Shely, Robert Paben and new Lieutenant Tyler Meyer. We are extremely proud of them and excited for their next journey. Thank you to our team for making this promotional process possible and thank you to the families who sacrificed many months so these men could study and prepare themselves for advancement.

Congratulations to Kevin King on his promotion to Lieutenant on September 15, 2026.
Kevin has been a dedicated servant of the citizens of Conroe for 19 years. With this promotion come increased responsibilities and opportunities to serve, which he has happily accepted. Please join us in wishing him the best in his new leadership role.
