Shortly after 7:30 a.m., HFD responded to a call of a woman on a pillar near Buffalo Bayou. When crews arrived, she jumped in. HFD Rescue put a boat in the water, used their drone to locate her, and made the save. She's stable at Ben Taub. Quick work by all on scene. #HoustonFire
Thirteen years ago today, five HFD firefighters lost their lives in the Southwest Inn fire, the deadliest incident in department history. We honor Robert Bebee, Matthew Renaud, Anne Sullivan, Robert Garner, and "Iron Bill" Dowling. Never forget. #HoustonFire#NeverForget#GBNF
