Hopefully you haven't had an emergency or need assistance in the near future but if you do the Kingwood fire department and the paramedics that responded were awesome. Quick professional and so kind. These guys are amazing. They go above and beyond. My daughter is OK thanks to them. I dont think that they don't get enough recognition for what they do. I am trying to come up with a way to thank them. They are a huge benefit to our community. Thinking of food or cookies. Any ideas on how to show appreciation would be great! 4951

Just a point of order. The fire department is Houston Fire Department. The Kingwood Fire Department and Kingwood EMS were disbanded in 1997 following the invasion by Houston. But to your point,  the men and women of HFD do a great job. 4951

They always appreciate visitors. I would suggest contacting the media and HFD Public Affairs to arrange a video taped meeting. 4951

@dac1842. Thanks for the clarification. I wouldn't want to show disrespect by calling the wrong name. Those guys rock! 4951

You could ask  @BBqguy if he would smoke some chicken , brisket or pork butts if you supplied them  for the fire fighters.   4951

I think you world want to honor the same shift that helped you and your daughter. I think HFD has for shifts -A, B, C, and D. There are also 4 station in Kingwood - 101, 102, 103, and 104. That is why it is important to contact their Public Affairs to ensure the proper fire fighters are recognized. 4951

If you let me know what day it was, I can let you know what shift it was. My husband is a HFD firefighter and we have a LOT of FFs that love here in Kingwood. We have a great group of guys and girls at our local stations. They love ice cream or dessert items Emoticon if you're gonna do a meal - you may want to call ahead by a few days and let them know bc they buy all their food for the day ahead of time. There are are a lot of restaurants that might donate some food too. I found that out when we lost a firefighter here in Kingwood awhile back. These firefighters in our city are amazing ... But I'm partial Emoticon it is so nice to hear all the love for them though - makes them being away from us all the time almost worth it.

So glad your daughter is ok and was taken care of !! Way to go HFD!! 4951

@landladyFirst and foremost, dude, so relieved to hear that you daughter is healthy, and all is well...      Thank you, Jesus... And secondly, thank you for realizing, sharing, and pointing out about these selfless individuals, that are lookin' out for all of us, instead of being with their families, and not just on regular work days, but all day, every day, 24 / 7 / 365....~ Happy Easter   4951

@herron1345 thank you for the well wishes. She is home from the hospital and doing better. She scared me to death! She passed out while helping cook for Easter dinner and smashed her head and face of the counter and cabinets. We go about our lives so often not recognizing what others do and go through daily. I just feel bad I didn't recognize what sacrifices they make sooner. Like you said 24/7. Just want to show my respect and gratitude. 4951
