AUSTIN - The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) is requesting nominations honoring first responders who have passed away in the last year to be displayed in a memorial at the 2025 Texas Emergency Management Conference in Fort Worth.
The First Responder Memorial at The Conference honors the life and service of first responders across emergency management, fire and rescue, law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), and public health, who have passed away.
“Taking the time to remember those who devoted themselves to caring for Texas communities is a necessary and important element of the Texas Emergency Management Conference”, said Texas Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd. “We encourage Texans to join us in honoring those included in this important display as we pay tribute to our friends, family, and colleagues across the state.”
