Keeping Texas in Our Thoughts and Prayers

As wild weather continues to impact communities across the nation, the Nevada State Firefighters’ Association extends its heartfelt support to our brothers and sisters in Texas.

On behalf of all firefighters in the State of Nevada—both career and volunteer—I want to offer our condolences and prayers to the brave men and women in Texas who continue to put their lives on the line in the face of devastating flooding. Their commitment to saving lives and protecting communities in such dangerous circumstances is nothing short of heroic.

Nevada has mobilized significant resources to support Texas during this time of need, including 47 members and critical equipment from the USAR Nevada Task Force-1. We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with those on the front lines and grateful to all who continue to serve selflessly.

If you are able and feel moved to help, we encourage donations to a trusted and vetted relief effort


💧 Kerr County Flood Relief Fund

The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund provides both urgent and long-term support to communities impacted by the devastating July 4th floods. Administered by the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Kerrville, this fund distributes resources directly to vetted local organizations offering rescue, relief, and recovery assistance.

Affected areas include Boerne, Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, and Comfort.

All donations are tax-deductible.

Let’s continue to look out for one another—whether across the street or across state lines.

In solidarity,

Steve McClintock
President, Nevada State Firefighters’ Association
