Two Reeves County emergency services officials served as instructors during the 2026 Municipal Fire Training School at Brayton Fire Training Field in College Station.
Reeves County Emergency Services District No. 1 Fire Battalion Chief M. Parker and Fire Capt. J. Woodward taught a Rope Awareness and Operations course during the weeklong training program.
Firefighters from multiple departments received hands-on instruction in rope rescue fundamentals, including knot tying, anchor systems, patient packaging, mechanical advantage systems and low-angle rescue operations.
The training is intended to help firefighters develop the skills and confidence needed to respond safely during technical rescue incidents.
Reeves County ESD No. 1 said Parker and Woodward’s participation reflected the department’s commitment to continuing education and supporting fire service preparedness across Texas.
The district also thanked the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service for organizing the training and congratulated the participating firefighters on completing the course.
