Ever wonder why Harris County floods? Jeff Lindner breaks down why flooding happens in our area in the latest episode of “Let’s Talk Weather with Jeff.” 🎥 Watch now, and stay tuned for next week’s episode!
Keep Halloween fun and fire safe for you your little ghouls and goblins! Choose flame-resistant costumes, keep capes and loose fabrics away from open flames, and opt for battery operated candles instead of real flames.
While temperatures have dropped & we’re enjoying the changing weather, the risk of fire remains, the burn ban is still in effect.
Continued dry conditions & strong winds can cause even a small outdoor fire to spread quickly, putting nearby homes, property & communities at risk.
Learning about fire safety can be fun!
Inspector Huber enjoyed talking with the kids about knowing two ways out, having an escape plan, and how building inspections help keep everyone safe.
There's still time to join the fun!
Winners will receive an HCFMO swag bag and a special mini parade featuring our apparatus!
All entries must be submitted by November 2, 2026. Good Luck!

Decorate safely this season by choosing flameless candles, keeping all exits and walkways clear, staying alert to open flames, and checking that outdoor electrical decorations are weather-safe and properly plugged in.
