Central Bell Fire & Rescue

Central Bell Fire & Rescue Providing world class emergency response to the Central Bell County district since 1961! The idea behind this was to better reflect the Communities we serve.

Founded in 1961 and operating as Nolanville Volunteer Fire department, our name was changed to Central Bell County Fire/Rescue in January 2010 to avoid confusion since we are a Non-Municipal Fire Department. We provide full spectrum Fire, Rescue and EMS services to the City of Nolanville and surrounding communities that make up our 20+ mile response area. We currently provide staff of 27 Firefight

ers, to include 4 EMT's. We provide 24 hour response by means of 3 shifts, just like career Departments. Our living quarters house 6 beds so we can maintain the staffing needed to accomplish this. We work closely with Harker Heights Fire/EMS, Belton Fire Department, Fort Hood Fire/EMS, and Sparta Volunteer Fire Department to provide the best Fire/Rescue/EMS services possible to our citizens. We cover several miles of US HWY 190, both Urban and Rural areas in Bell County, several miles of active railways, we also have several industrial plants, large businesses, multiple KISD schools, and many farms/ranches. Central Bell County currently operates 2 structural engines, a rescue vehicle, and a command vehicle. We are the busiest all volunteer department in the County, running more than 1700 calls last year. Central Bell County Fire/Rescue is compromised entirely of Professional Volunteers and we truly believe that "Professionalism is NOT based on a paycheck".

The grass is still crunchy and it’s still illegal to burn trash in the state of Texas.

🚒 Keeping Up With a Growing Community!

This afternoon, members of Central Bell County Fire Rescue were out in the Three Creeks community conducting hydrant mapping and flushing operations.

Our crews spent the afternoon going hydrant to hydrant throughout the newly developed Phases 9 & 10, mapping new hydrant locations and becoming more familiar with the continued growth of the neighborhood.

As Three Creeks and the surrounding areas continue to grow, so does our responsibility to stay familiar with new streets, homes, and available water supplies. Work like this may happen behind the scenes, but it plays an important role in helping our firefighters respond quickly and effectively when our community needs us.

You may have seen our crews and apparatus around the neighborhood today — we appreciate everyone’s patience while we completed this important work!

🚒 Fire Service Supporting Fire Service 🚒

Central Bell County Fire Rescue would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Chief Matthijetz and the Copperas Cove Fire Department for their generous donation of retired SCBA packs and air bottles to CBCFR.

Yesterday August 10th, Chief Jordan had the opportunity to present Chief Matthijetz and the members of Copperas Cove Fire Department with a Plaque of Appreciation recognizing their support of our department.

Donations like this provide valuable equipment and resources that help CBCFR continue to train, equip our firefighters, and strengthen our operational capabilities. More importantly, they demonstrate the cooperation and strong relationships that exist between fire departments throughout our area.
Thank you, Chief Matthijetz and Copperas Cove Fire Department, for supporting CBCFR and our mission to serve our community.

🔥 Neighbors helping neighbors. Firefighters supporting firefighters.
