Yesterday, a local Elsa family experienced a devastating house fire that left them displaced and in need of assistance.

With the family’s permission, the Elsa Fire Department is coordinating donation efforts to help them begin rebuilding and recover from this unexpected loss.

We are accepting clothing donations, household essentials, non-perishable food, toiletries, and blankets.

Donations may be dropped off at:
📍 Elsa Fire Department
216 E. Fourth St.
Elsa, TX

🕒 Monday–Friday | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

If you are able to help in any way, no donation is too small. Thank you for showing the strength and compassion that make our community special.

❤️ Together, Elsa Strong.

🔥 Congratulations to Firefighters Christopher Millan and James Martinez! 🔥

The Elsa Fire Department would like to congratulate Christopher Millan and James Martinez on successfully completing their S-130 Firefighter Training and S-190 Introduction to Wildland Fire Behavior courses through the United States Forest Service.

These nationally recognized courses provide the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for wildland firefighting, including fire behavior, safety procedures, suppression tactics, and incident operations.

We are proud of Christopher and James for their dedication to training and professional growth. Their commitment to expanding their knowledge and skills helps ensure that our department remains prepared to protect our community and support our neighboring agencies when called upon.

Please join us in congratulating them on this accomplishment! 👏🚒🔥
