More than a week after Hurricane Beryl made its way through the Texas coast, firefighters from North Texas continue to provide support to the affected communities.
The EMFT team was initially sent to the town of Livingston. The town’s hospital reportedly relied on a generator due to power outages caused by Hurricane Beryl. “We can bring the fire trucks in to run 911 calls. We can support their mission,” Stevenson said. “Maybe their facilities were damaged, and we can support that from outside of their facilities. Maybe their personnel are dealing with their own emergencies at home.”
While their assigned 14-day mission ends this weekend, coastal counties still need help. Therefore, there is a chance an extension could be ordered. On Wednesday, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced the creation of the Senate Special Committee on Hurricane and Tropical Storm Preparedness, Recovery, and Electricity.
