| The Houston Fire Department is saddened to announce the loss of Firefighter Paramedic Stephen Scott, who passed away today following an on-duty medical emergency on Sunday.
We ask for your continued thoughts and prayers for his family, our brothers and sisters at Station 102, and the department as a whole.
“Firefighter Scott was a dedicated member of this team, and will be missed by the HFD family,” said Fire Chief Thomas Muñoz. “His legacy is one of hard work, honor, and service to his community.”
Firefighter Paramedic Scott entered The Department in 1997. He has been assigned at Station 102 in Kingwood since 2008, and before that, spent many years at Station 9 on Hogan St. Firefighter Paramedic Scott also worked as the manager for HFD’s Base Station services operated by SETRAC, which coordinates ambulance patient traffic for the Houston region, ensuring that patients are matched with hospitals with appropriate resources and availability. Scott is remembered by his wife and three adult children.
The Houston Fire Department’s Firefighter Support Network is coordinating with the Scott family, the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association IAFF Local 341, the crew of Station 102 and the department at large to ensure the family is assisted through each step of honoring their loved-one’s legacy and life. In addition to the City’s Employee Assistance Program, HFD’s Critical Incident Stress Management program is available to members who are affected by the loss of Firefighter Paramedic Scott.
In honor of HFD’s fallen brother, all members will wear Class B uniforms with shrouded badges until Firefighter Garcia is laid to rest. Houston Mayor John Whitmire has requested flags at all City facilities to be flown at half-staff until further notice. |
