TIFMAS became a reality for the AFD
The establishment of a Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid
System (TIFMAS) team tells the state that we will be ready to
assist in the event of a catastrophic wild land fire events like
those in 2011. Our requirements for participation have been
met and our team is ready to make a difference.
AFD is prepared for Duty.
The AFD/AISD/TCC High School Firefighter/EMT Program completed its first year. The
successes of the first year were remarkable. AFD instructors were the key to the program’s
unbelievable success. We’re a compassionate organization, making a real difference in the
lives of students and the community we serve. As a result, we’re changing too!
