Mission TX – Mission Fire Department Open House 2015 Mission TX – Mission Fire Department Open House 2015 Crews lowered our Bannworth Park lake levels, while installing a new irrigation system. The City is installing a system that will utilize canal water to irrigate. Crews had to drop the lake levels about 4 feet to place a new pipe. Levels should return to normal on Tuesday. Our Mission Fire Department is selling Breast Cancer Awareness T-Shirts for $15. Proceeds will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. You can pick up a shirt at Mission City Hall (1201 E. 8th St.) every weekday from 9am-11am, until the end of October. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the City of Mission held its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon. We hold the luncheon for our City employees – to remind them about the importance of prevention, early detection and intervention. Thank you to the HUNDREDS of citizens who joined us at our Mission Fire Department’s Open House! We appreciate the support of the community as the City kicks off “Fire Prevention Month.” Mission Firefighters will spend the month of October visiting Mission schools, teaching children and the public about fire safety. Mission TX – 7th Annual Mission Pink 2015 Check out the video of the 7th Annual Mission Pink Walk/Run for Breast Cancer Awareness. Thank you to the thousands who joined us in Mission for the MRMC Mission Pink Walk/Run for Breast Cancer Awareness! More than 3500 people came out to support this great event! The City of Mission hands over house keys to another Mission family through our Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. These 42 men and women graduated from the Lower Rio Grande Valley Regional Police Academy and Mission Police Department Police Academy! The graduates will serve as law enforcement officers throughout the Valley. We wish them safe and successful careers as they protect and serve! Thank you to Absolute Services for donating this “Fire Alarm Panel Prop” to our Mission Fire Department! A majority of businesses in Mission use these types of alarm panels, and now our firefighters can train on what to expect when they enter a burning building equipped with similar panels. Congratulations to Mission Police Officer Gilberto Izquierdo for his more than 23 years of service to our Mission Police Department! Fellow City employees and City leaders sent “Lefty” off with a retirement party – thanking him for his many years of dedication to Mission! Our Mission Firefighters are training to forcibly enter a burning home or business. The South Texas College Fire Academy loaned us this “forcible entry door prop” to better ensure the safety of our Mission residents.
