We strive to keep the public up-to-date on what’s going on in our community. See below for the latest news from Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue.
With profound sadness, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has announced the line-of-duty death of Deputy Erika Serrato, who was killed early Sunday morning while assisting at a crash scene on Interstate 45 near The Woodlands Parkway.
Deputy Serrato, just 24 years old, was directing traffic during a DWI crash investigation when a heavy-duty commercial truck struck her and two marked patrol vehicles with their emergency lights activated. She was rushed to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
A six-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Serrato dedicated her life to serving and protecting the Montgomery County community. Another deputy sustained minor injuries during the incident and has since been released from the hospital.
One driver involved in the initial crash has been charged with DWI, while the crash involving the commercial truck remains under investigation.
Please join us in keeping Deputy Serrato’s family, friends, and her brothers and sisters in law enforcement in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn this heartbreaking loss. Thank you for your service Deputy Serrato. 😔
Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue successfully facilitated a joint cross-training exercise with Texas Medical Command, Texas Army National Guard focusing on rappel training.
This collaborative event strengthened operational coordination and interoperability among the participating organizations, allowing personnel to refine critical rope-access and high-angle rescue techniques in a realistic, multi-agency environment.
The training enhanced tactical proficiency, promoted knowledge sharing between civilian fire and rescue professionals and military medical teams, and reinforced collective preparedness for complex emergency response scenarios. This initiative highlights the ongoing commitment of all partners to maintaining the highest standards of readiness and interagency cooperation in service to their communities.
