Please join us in welcoming Sandra Vatsis-Taylor as one of two new Commissioners for Kaufman County Emergency Services District #6.

Sandra has been a proud resident of Forney since 1993. She and her husband, Mark Taylor, recently celebrated 34 years of marriage and have raised their family in the community they proudly call home. Over the years, Sandra has had the unique privilege of watching Forney grow from a small town into the thriving city it is today. Their family’s roots in Forney run deep, built through decades of relationships, involvement, and shared community experiences.

Sandra is a graduate of the University of North Texas, where she earned a degree in Business Management, and she is a member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Dallas, Texas.

With more than 30 years of experience in the physical fitness and recreation field, Sandra has dedicated much of her professional life to supporting youth and families through sports. She is the owner of Quickfoot Soccer Tournaments, serving the DFW Metroplex by helping soccer associations and clubs raise funds while fostering a welcoming, family-focused environment centered around the game she has always loved and played.

Her commitment to service extends well beyond her professional work. Sandra has volunteered in leadership roles on several local boards, including the Forney Education Foundation, where she has contributed her time and experience to support education and strengthen the community.

Outside of her community involvement, Sandra enjoys cooking, gardening, and supporting animal rescue efforts. Above all, she is guided by a genuine desire to serve and finds purpose in helping others and contributing to the greater good wherever she can.

We are grateful for Sandra’s dedication to service and look forward to the leadership and perspective she brings to Kaufman County Emergency Services District #6. Please join us in welcoming her to the board.

As we grow as a community it is important to make sure our first responders have the necessary tools, staffing, stations and apparatuses. ESD #6 takes great pride in our partnership with the Forney Fire Department. Thank you for taking care of our citizens last night in the ESD!

Dana Curry has faithfully served the Kaufman County Emergency Services District #6 Board of Commissioners for 21 years, dedicating her time, leadership, and expertise to strengthening emergency services for the Forney community. A longtime Forney resident, Dana witnessed the transformation of local fire protection from a volunteer-based effort funded by fish fries and raffles to today’s professionally staffed fire service.

She played a key role in supporting the vision that led to the creation of Kaufman County Emergency Services District No. 6 in 2001, under the leadership of Chief Rick Barnes. The district’s formation established sustainable funding to ensure dependable fire protection for residents outside the Forney city limits. During her tenure, Dana served as Secretary/Treasurer, helping guide district governance, financial oversight, documentation, and long-term strategic planning for a growing community.

Before her service with ESD6, Dana devoted more than 30 years to public education as a teacher and later serving in district-level leadership roles. Her experience in organizational leadership, budgeting, and collaboration greatly benefited the district’s work.

Beyond her public service, Dana continues to support her community through volunteer efforts with Forney ISD, including coordinating the Uniform Exchange Program at First Presbyterian Church, which provides school uniforms to students in need. She and her husband, Richard, enjoy time with their family, especially their granddaughter and caring for their farm in Hamilton County.

Thank you, Dana Curry, for 21 years of dedicated service to, steady leadership, and commitment to the safety and well-being of the Kaufman County community and ESD #6. Dana's ESD commissioner appointment ended December 31, 2025. Your impact will be felt for years to come.
