Haslet Fire Rescue

Last week, our A-Shift crew had the opportunity to visit New Creations Preschool for a show-and-tell focused on fire safety. Crews talked with the students about fire prevention and demonstrated some of the tools and equipment our firefighters use every day.

The following day, that same crew responded to a grass fire on Country Ln. that quickly spread across three properties and threatened several structures. Crews rapidly stopped the fire’s advancement and protected the surrounding structures, ultimately extinguishing the fire with assistance from Fort Worth Fire Department Brush-37. Crews remained on scene to mop up hot spots.

The fire was determined to have been caused by an illegal burn—a reminder that even a small fire can quickly become a serious threat when conditions are right.

Multiple waves of showers and storms will be spread across the region Wednesday through Friday.

A Flood Watch has been issued for the Haslet area from 4PM Wednesday thru 1PM Thursday. Average rainfall totals between 2-5 inches are expected with isolated higher amounts.

Additional rounds of heavy rain are possible on Friday which may result in an extension of time /area of the current watch.

Turn around, don’t drown! Do not drive thru flooded roads!

Congratulations to Captain Flaviu Deleanu who was recognized at last nights City Council meeting for 5 years of full-time service with HFR. Captain Deleanu was originally hired as a volunteer firefighter in 2009 and rose through the ranks to Lieutenant before being hired full-time into the Captain role. Captain Deleanu serves as the C-Shift Captain and assists with firefighter PPE management, medical reporting, and other operational areas. Thank you for all you do!

Please join HFR as we send our thoughts and prayers to this Roanoke Police Officer, their family, and the organization.

In the early morning hours of September 20, 2026, an officer with the Roanoke Police Department was involved in a serious motor vehicle collision.

Officers were conducting traffic enforcement along SH 114 in response to numerous complaints involving motorcycles traveling at high speeds in the area while attending an event at Texas Motor Speedway.

The officer, who was operating a police motorcycle, attempted to stop a motorcycle when the rider fled from the officer. During the incident, both the officer and the fleeing motorcyclist were involved in a collision with another vehicle on SH 114, just west of I-35W.

The officer was transported to a local hospital and is currently listed in critical condition.

The suspect is in custody and is also being treated at a local hospital for injuries sustained in the crash.

At this time, we do not have any additional information regarding the collision or the officer’s condition. We ask that you keep our officer, his family, and the entire Roanoke Police Department in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Today, on the 25th anniversary, we remember the events of September 11, 2001 and the lives lost that day.

We honor the 2,977 civilians, 55 military personnel, 343 Firefighter, 8 EMT’s & Paramedics, and 72 Law Enforcement Officials killed that day.

We also honor the countless civilian and first responder’s lives that have been lost since from illness, cancer, and su***de.

The first responder saved roughly 25,000 people that day. Their service and sacrifice reminds us of the true meaning of brotherhood, duty, and service.

Never forget, never forgotten. 🇺🇸

Outdoor warning sirens have been activated in specific areas for 1-inch or greater hail. Please seek shelter. Have multiple ways to receive weather info.

HFR crews have remained busy over the past week as elevated fire danger continues across the area. Our personnel have responded to numerous large grass fires throughout our district while also assisting neighboring agencies, including a strike team assignment to Bridgeport yesterday.

In addition to the demands of these incidents, extreme temperatures have placed an added strain on our personnel working in the field. We encourage everyone to use extreme caution and remain vigilant. If you see any signs of a fire, call 911 immediately.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the City of Rhome, Texas Government for their generosity in loaning us a brush truck while we addressed mechanical issues with one of our units. Partnerships like these help ensure we can continue providing the highest level of service to our community.

Truck-128 & Tanker-128 responded to assist Fort Worth Fire Department with a residential structure fire yesterday afternoon. Crews completed a search of the building for trapped occupants and assisted with interior fire suppression. Great work by everyone!

While most people have been shying away from outdoor activities ☀️🥵, HFR members have been busy training and answering calls for service. Over the last week, crews have answered many calls for wrecks and EMS runs, as well as numerous car, brush, and structure fires.

In case you weren’t aware—it’s HOT. Please remember to stay hydrated and limit exposure to the heat as much as possible! 💧
