Recently, we took delivery of 25 new sets of personal protective equipment (PPE) made possible through a $110,000 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG).

Our previous turnout gear was purchased in 2013 and reached the end of its service life in 2023, leaving all of our volunteers responding to emergencies in outdated equipment. Today, that has changed.

This is a tremendous time for the members of Speake Volunteer Fire & Rescue District and the community we proudly serve. Our firefighters are now better equipped than ever before to respond safely and effectively when our neighbors need us most.

We are incredibly grateful to the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, Representative Dale Strong for his support in helping make this investment in our department possible. This grant represents a significant commitment to the safety of our first responders and the citizens of our community.

VEIS & Window Bailout Training

Our firefighters also trained on VEIS (Vent, Enter, Isolate, Search) and emergency window bailout techniques. VEIS is a specialized rescue tactic used to quickly search targeted areas of a structure where victims are most likely to be found while limiting fire spread by isolating the room.

Members also practiced emergency window bailouts, a critical firefighter survival skill that prepares personnel to safely escape when conditions rapidly deteriorate and a normal exit is no longer available.

Training on advanced rescue and survival techniques helps ensure our firefighters are prepared to protect both the public and one another when lives are on the line.

Search & Victim Removal Training

Finding and removing victims from a burning structure is one of the most challenging and rewarding tasks in the fire service. During this training, our firefighters practiced search techniques, victim location, communication, and rapid removal methods.

We train continuously so we’re ready to perform when our community needs us most.

Forcible Entry Training

Our members recently conducted forcible entry training on a structure that has been approved for training use. These hands-on opportunities are invaluable in preparing our firefighters for real-world emergencies.

It is critical that our emergency responders have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to quickly and safely gain access to victims in distress or enter a structure to mitigate an ongoing emergency. Training like this allows us to sharpen those skills in a controlled environment so we are ready when seconds matter.

Every training evolution makes us better prepared to serve the citizens of the Speake Volunteer Fire & Rescue District.

This past week, members of Speake Volunteer Fire & Rescue District came together to wash and wax our entire fleet of emergency response vehicles.

Taking pride in our equipment is an important part of serving our community. By keeping our apparatus clean and well-maintained, we help protect the investment our citizens have made in our department while ensuring our equipment is always ready to respond when needed.

We are incredibly thankful for the continued support of our community. Your generosity makes it possible for us to provide emergency services, and we believe it’s our responsibility to take great care of the equipment you’ve entrusted to us.

Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers who gave their time and hard work to make this happen. We are proud to serve our community!

🚒 2026 Mid-Year Report – Speake Volunteer Fire & Rescue District 🚑

As we reach the halfway point of 2026, we’d like to share a look at what your volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel have accomplished during the first six months of the year.

From January 1 through June 30, Speake Volunteer Fire & Rescue District responded to 184 emergency incidents throughout our 102-square-mile service area.

📊 By the Numbers:
• 184 Total Calls for Service
• 110 Medical Emergencies
• 18 Motor Vehicle Accidents
• 15 Structure Fires
• 14 Brush Fires
• 13 Lift Assists
• 3 Vehicle Fires
• 24 Mutual Aid Responses Given
• 92.4% Overall Response Rate

Medical emergencies continue to make up the majority of our workload, accounting for nearly 60% of all calls. Our volunteers have also responded to numerous structure fires, serious motor vehicle accidents, brush fires, and mutual aid requests from neighboring departments.

None of this happens without dedicated volunteers willing to leave their families, jobs, and daily lives at a moment’s notice to answer the call for help.

We are incredibly proud of the men and women who serve this community and grateful for the continued support of our citizens, board members and neighboring agencies.

As we move into the second half of 2026, we remain committed to providing the highest level of emergency services possible while continuing to train, improve, and prepare for whatever comes next.

Thank you for your continued support of Speake Volunteer Fire & Rescue District.
