Our hearts go out to the Fritch Fire Dept and Chief Smiths family and friends. This is a terrible loss for an area already dealing with so much!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fritch, Texas - March 5, 2024

With profound sorrow, on behalf of the City of Fritch, we announce the passing of Fritch Fire Chief Zeb Smith, who bravely responded to a structure fire earlier today. Chief Smith, a dedicated public servant, was the first on the scene, demonstrating his unwavering commitment and service to the Fritch community.

During the response, Chief Smith faced unforeseen challenges and, despite emergency medical assistance and quick transportation to Golden Plains Community Hospital, tragically succumbed to his injuries.

Chief Zeb Smith served the Fritch and Hutchinson County community with selflessness and dedication. His exemplary leadership was evident in his tireless efforts over the past week, where he worked diligently to protect and safeguard his community and fellow citizens.

In this time of profound loss, our thoughts and condolences go out to Chief Smith's family, friends, and the entire Fritch community. We honor Chief Zeb Smith's legacy of service and express our deepest gratitude for his contributions to public safety.

A memorial service to celebrate Chief Smith's life and honor his service will be announced at a later date.

Additional information will be released later. For media inquiries, please contact Brandon Strope at bstrope@borgertx.gov.
