After almost two long weeks of helping fight the Panhandle wildfires, North Texas firefighters are heading back to the DFW Metroplex. But first, they helped out in a different way to give fellow firefighters a chance to mourn their fallen fire chief.
When multiple wildfires ignited in the Texas Panhandle, it didn’t take long for crews to realize they needed help.Fire departments in Dallas, Flower Mound, Arlington, and Fort Worth were among those who answered the call."When we got here, it seemed like a normal Panhandle wildfire. We knew it was going to move fast, but we didn’t know it was going to turn into the biggest one in Texas history at the time," Fort Worth Fire Department Captain Cody Stilwell said.
During Smith’s funeral on Saturday, Stilwell’s crews were ready to respond to calls for the surrounding departments so those firefighters could attend. "We’re just here to support them in whatever they need," Stilwell said.In the same way the state and country has pulled together to support those impacted by the wildfires."Just pouring in resources and items that are needed up here. To help the victims and the fire departments themselves," Stilwell said.
