Former PFRA President Mike Cantrell was out for a bike ride on February 19th after the winter storm and he came across the water flowing out of the old EDS helicopter hanger.

A video of the water flow can also be viewed at the following link- https://www.dropbox.com/s/bnahwimcwx033wf/6800%20Blk%20Windcrest%20Dr%20Water%20Flow.mp4?dl=0

There was no active water flow alarm in the building and if was not for Mike calling 911 to report it, there is no telling how much longer it would have continued. Special thanks also to the PFR Light Response Vehicle (LRV) team who made entry and turned off the water!

PFR battled a very large and long-duration structure fire on 2-15-21 on Morton Vale Rd. Thanks to PFRA Photographers John and Yvette Mouser for sharing these pictures and this video.

PFRA was super excited to have Plano Fire Chief Greif join us briefly during our January 2021 meeting! Chief Greif was recently discharged from the hospital after two weeks of medical care related to Covid. PFRA welcomes Chief Greif back home and we wish him a speedy recovery!

PFRA sends our thanks and appreciation to Cristina’s Fine Mexican Restaurant for helping us bring the this year’s PFR Picnic to the firefighters. Cristina’s is cooking up dinners for all shifts, all stations, and PFRA members are delivering them this week. Please visit their restaurant at 8300 Preston Road in Plano and tell them PFRA appreciates their support of Plano Fire-Rescue!
