Burleson CERT

🎇 As we gear up for 4th of July festivities, let’s keep safety at the center of the celebration. Whether you’re heading to a community event or enjoying time at home, a few simple precautions can help ensure a safe and fun holiday for everyone:

🎆 Remember: fireworks are illegal within city limits, leave them to the professionals
👀 Always supervise children closely during celebrations and fireworks displays
👟 Wear appropriate footwear to protect feet from hot surfaces, debris, and uneven ground
🐕 Keep pets and animals indoors in a calm, secure space, as fireworks can cause stress and anxiety

A safe celebration is a better celebration. Let’s enjoy the holiday responsibly and look out for one another.

🚨 Training in Action 🚨

BTX CERT put in the work at our June Monthly Meeting!

We kicked things off with Search & Rescue (SAR) classroom training, then took it out to Bailey Lake for hands-on field scenarios 💪

🔍 Scenario 1: Missing Child
🔎 Scenario 2: Evidence Search

From strategy to boots-on-the-ground ex*****on, our team sharpened critical skills that make a real difference when it matters most.

Huge thank you to CERT Instructor J. Staud for delivering another outstanding, high-impact training! 👏
