We’d like to extend a big thank you to Shahan & Son’s Painting for the outstanding job on the recent paint work at the Kaufman County Emergency Services District #6 fire station on Windy Lane. Your professionalism and attention to detail truly made a difference, and the station looks better than ever.

The ESD #6 Board remains committed to continuing improvements to our facilities as we serve our community. We’re excited about the future and the continued development of our current station, as well as future fire stations within the district.

Thank you again for helping us take pride in the place we call home!

Kaufman County Emergency Services District is taking proactive steps to plan for the future of our rapidly growing community. As development continues across the region, it’s critical that we stay ahead of demand to ensure the highest level of emergency response and public safety for our residents.

We’re proud to partner with Michael Rainey (Pictured center) and Associates to conduct a comprehensive demographic analysis that will guide long-term planning efforts for the ESD. This study will provide valuable insight into population growth, housing trends, and future development patterns—helping us make informed, data-driven decisions about staffing, apparatus, and the placement of future fire station facilities.

This initiative is also built on strong collaboration. Kaufman County ESD is working closely with the City of Forney and the Forney Fire Department to coordinate planning efforts and share critical information. By working together, we can ensure that our strategies are aligned and that we are maximizing resources to best serve our community both now and in the years ahead.

Planning for the future today means being ready for tomorrow’s challenges. Through thoughtful analysis, regional partnerships, and a commitment to excellence, Kaufman County ESD is focused on enhancing response capabilities, improving service delivery, and building a safer, stronger Kaufman County for generations to come.

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.
