🥊Today we want to shine the spotlight on Firefighter Ellis Sherman of DeSoto Fire Rescue 🔥
Ellis isn’t just a part of this cause, he’s woven into its fabric. Year after year, he shows up, works hard, and stands tall for the mission of honoring and helping the families of our fallen heroes. His dedication, generosity, and steady presence have made him a pillar in this community and a true example of what service looks like on and off the clock!

Ellis: "Shoutouts to my beautiful wife and family for their unwavering love and support, my incredible team at SBA, and my entire crew at DeSoto Fire Rescue, with a special nod to the Wolfpack! And of course, a huge thank-you to everyone at Guns and Hoses for making this event possible."

Ellis, we can’t thank you enough for the heart, the hustle, and the spirit you bring to the fight. You remind us all why we’re here.

We can’t wait to see everyone at the show on September 13th! Let’s make it one to remember!

TSAFF is alerting Texas legislators of the unintended consequences of SB 10, the pending property tax reform bill. As the attached letter delivered today to Chairman Morgan Meyer and members of the House Ways and Means Committee explains, SB 10, as proposed, does not provide protections for public safety funding.

CALL TO ACTION: Texas firefighters and friends… Please urge your city council members, mayors and commissioners to stand up to protect funding of their fire/EMS and police departments today. Their calls and face-to-face meetings with state representatives and senators can influence a solution — a legislative carve out or exception to public safety funding.

Please call and email your local officials today, and let us know if you have questions. Thank you.
