Fire Chief Welcome

Welcome to the Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue website. We hope to reach out to the community and provide safety tips, fire prevention techniques, and useful resources.

The department has been in service since 1955, and began with the merger of 2 departments.

The men and women that make up the department are your neighbors, friends, and relatives, and are actively involved in the community. We are striving to make this a better place to work, live and raise your family.

Facilities

Personnel

We are staffed by personnel that consider the community and residents their home and family.

Latest News

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.

IT JUST SO HAPPENED…on the 37 year anniversary of Baby Jessica (McClure) being rescued from a well in Midland, Tx — SCF&R was able to rescue a puppy from a hole off Green River street today. After unsuccessful attempts by Animal Control our crews were able to pass the puppy to a nearby neighbor to be cared for. Please consider spay and neutering (“fixing”) your pets to prevent overpopulation of strays. We wish the puppy and new owner the best of luck! ... See MoreSee Less

At Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue, with our Employee Spotlight we aim to accomplish two things:

1. Put a face to the firefighters who serve within the community and
2. Show our great appreciation to our members within the department with a little recognition. In this spotlight we would like to introduce-

Henry Lopez lives in the Sheldon Fire District. He is a son, brother, friend, and a first-generation American alongside his siblings. His parents came to the States in the 1990s; his father is Honduran, and his mother is Mexican. He has one older brother, Angel, and one younger sister, Janett.

How long have you been with Sheldon?
Henry currently works full-time on the B-Shift as an Engineer Operator and has been with the department for four years. His nickname is “Smiley,” and he always maintains a positive attitude and strong work ethic. He is the co-worker who can brighten up the room and make the workday seem effortless.

What did you do before firefighting?
Henry is a veteran. He joined the Army National Guard in 2013, his Military Occupational Specialty was 91B—wheel vehicle mechanic. He deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in 2017 and completed his contract in 2019. After the military, he started college and began the fire academy at San Jacinto College.

What drew you to firefighting?
When he was deployed overseas, he saw a picture in the Army Times newsletter of Tidwell Road underwater from Hurricane Harvey. The image made him concerned for his family, neighbors, and friends. He wanted to do more for his community and hometown, he decided to pursue a career as a first responder instead of continuing his military career.

Do you have any hobbies?
He enjoys working out and playing the bass guitar. His favorite song to play is “Other Side” by the Red-Hot Chili Peppers. He would like to travel to Japan or Ireland in the future and enjoys going to anime and gaming conventions.

Do you have any advice for someone who wants to get into public service?
If you make a mistake, don’t give up; keep persevering. If you truly want to be in this field, be humble, respectful, and always be willing to learn.

A Little Message from the Employee:
Be mindful of portable generators and have CO alarms in your residence. Check the batteries semi-annually. CO alarms can save lives. Henry feels accomplished and successful in fulfilling his goal of becoming a firefighter in his hometown. He reminds us that even on rainy days, the sun will eventually come out.
