Senate Resolution No. 82 commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Irving Fire Department, which was established in 1925 with just 20 volunteers serving a one-square-mile area. Over the past century, the department has significantly expanded, now comprising over 400 personnel and serving a population of more than 250,000 across 68 square miles. The department has evolved its services to include emergency medical services (EMS), swift-water rescue, hazardous materials response, and technical rescue, while also focusing on mental health and wellness for its personnel and the community.

The resolution highlights the department's various community initiatives, such as the Blue Christmas program, Citizens Fire Academy, and cancer awareness campaigns, as well as its achievement of an Insurance Services Office Class 1 rating, placing it among the top one percent of fire departments in the nation. The Senate expresses its appreciation for the dedication and service of the Irving Fire Department members and extends best wishes for their future endeavors, officially recognizing this milestone with a copy of the resolution prepared for the department.
