Corey Claytor, a firefighter/paramedic for Denton County ESD No. 1 (formerly Argyle Fire District), has been transferred to a long-term acute care facility as he continues to recover from a serious motorcycle accident.
Claytor suffered multiple serious injuries in an off-duty collision on March 22, and for the next three weeks he received care at Medical City Denton. Claytor started out as a volunteer firefighter with the ESD in January 2020, and became a part-time firefighter three months later. He has been full-time since April 2021 and is assigned to Station 511 in Argyle. He was the fire department’s Rookie of the Year in 2021 and received a Life Saving Award in 2020. He is also an avid photographer who takes a lot of the district’s photos.
