MATT GRANT

FIREFIGHTER

Matt Grant, a student in the Master of Public Adminstartion program has been temporarily reassigned and designated as the Fort Worth Fire Department’s “Exposure/Isolation Officer”. He is responsible for being the point of contact for emergency incidents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This past week, Matt worked with the Joint Emergency Operations Center (JEOC), overseeing the internal response team among both the Fire and Police Departments. They developed and implemented a testing process for first responders, which was quickly expanded to include all healthcare providers within Tarrant County. This was done in partnership with the University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNT HSC).

We appreciate his hard work and dedication during this difficult time.
