The Community Action Response Team (CART) is staffed by Citizens Fire Academy Alumni. These volunteers help residents who have experienced a fire or other emergency. They provide ongoing assistance such as recovery information, shelter, clothes, or any other needed items or services during and after the incident. CART also locates and coordinates support from community organizations and works closely with the Red Cross and Texas A&M's Critical Incident Response Team.
CART's mission is to provide customer service and emotional support to residents who are dealing with stressful situations following a fire or other emergency that requires a resident to evacuate his or her home.
