Fall arrives today at 8:05 pm ET! 🍂

Today’s Fall Equinox marks the start of astronomical fall in the Northern Hemisphere and is the moment when the Sun is directly over Earth’s equator. From now through the Winter Solstice on December 21, the Northern Hemisphere will receive increasingly less direct sunlight as Earth continues along its tilted orbit around the Sun.

UPDATE: The brush fire is mostly extinguished at this time. Crews will remain on scene putting out hot spots for the next hour or two. Harris County Fire Marshal office is currently on scene as well as our previously mentioned mutual aid partners.

The Atascocita Fire Department joins the nation in reflecting on the events of September 11, 2001. We honor the memory of all of the lives lost on, and as a consequence of, the attack, including the 343 members of the FDNY and other first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their bravery and selflessness will forever define the meaning of ‘service.’

As we pause in remembrance, we also celebrate the unity, resilience, and unwavering American spirit that emerged from that tragic day. To the families of the fallen, and to the first responders who served and continue to serve: our thoughts and deepest gratitude are with you. 🇺🇸

The Atascocita Fire Department was proud to step up for a worried parent this week.

After caring for a patient on a medical call, our crew from Station 19, C-shift, personally ensured their kids were safely delivered right to their classroom doors, giving a stressed family one less thing to worry about. Handling the emergency is only part of the job; sometimes, a true service is just about having a big heart and a hand to hold.
