DFR unable to respond to several incidents in the City of Dallas per the Dallas Firefighters Association Facebook page.
The page says Desoto, Duncanville, Cockrell Hill, Hutchins, and Lancaster fire units were required for a large grass fire. Dallas units did not respond and were out of service.
The comments follow a similar post just over two weeks ago referring to out of service engines in Dallas. That post prompted questions from City Council member Cara Mendelsohn who inquired about eleven reserve engines.
DFR Unable To Respond?
The reports of units out of service come shortly after the city reported responding to more incidents over July 4.
The City of Dallas has a consistent issue enforcing fireworks related nuissance crimes. Year after year Dallas Fire Rescue conducts public safety campaigns on fireworks. Year after year, fireworks are an issue.
