Thank you Anheuser-Busch and National Volunteer Fire Council for the generous donation of emergency drinking water, and to L & F Distributers for delivering it to our fire station! This water will help keep our firefighters hydrated during wildfires and extended responses in extreme heat.

The donation is provided through Anheuser-Busch’s Emergency Drinking Water for Wildland Firefighters program, which supports volunteer departments with critical hydration resources during wildfire season. Learn more at www.nvfc.org/water.

Yesterday afternoon, Gregory Volunteer Fire Department responded on a mutual aid call to the Holden Fire near the 1400 block of State Highway 35 Bypass in Aransas Pass. Working alongside numerous local and state agencies, crews assisted with containing the approximately 36-acre brush fire that threatened nearby homes. The fire is currently reported to be 95% contained.

We would also like to thank GP Transport for their assistance during the incident. A special thank you to Ruben Solis and Fred Pena, who helped our firefighters replace a tire on one of our brush trucks, allowing it to get back into service quickly. Your willingness to stop and help during an active emergency is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to all of our mutual aid partners for their teamwork and dedication throughout this incident.

As you celebrate Independence Day, Gregory Volunteer Fire Department reminds everyone that fireworks are prohibited within the Gregory city limits.

Fireworks can quickly start grass and structure fires, especially during hot and dry conditions. Help us keep our community safe by leaving the fireworks to professional displays.

We appreciate your cooperation and wish everyone a safe and Happy Fourth of July!

Today, Gregory Volunteer Fire Department responded to a small mulch fire at one of our local children’s parks. The fire was determined to have been caused by a discarded cigarette butt.

While this incident was quickly extinguished, it serves as an important reminder that something as small as a cigarette can start a fire. Especially during the hot, dry conditions we are experiencing. Mulch, grass, and other landscaping materials can ignite much easier than many people realize.

If you smoke, please help protect our community by:
• Never throwing cigarette butts out of your vehicle or onto the ground.
• Always make sure ci******es are completely extinguished before disposing of them.
• Use designated ashtrays or proper disposal containers whenever possible.

Our parks are places where children and families gather to enjoy the outdoors. By taking a few extra seconds to properly dispose of smoking materials, we can all help keep these spaces safe. Thank you for doing your part to prevent fires and for helping keep the City of Gregory safe.

On behalf of the Gregory Volunteer Fire Department, we want to sincerely thank everyone who came out and supported our 2nd Annual BBQ Cookoff Fundraiser.

From the cookoff teams, vendors, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and everyone who bought plates, raffle tickets, bid in the silent auction, or simply stopped by to show support, thank you.

Events like this take a lot of work behind the scenes, and we could not make it happen without the support of our members, families, and community. Every dollar raised goes right back into helping our department continue serving Gregory and the surrounding area.

We are truly grateful for the continued support shown to our fire department. Thank you for making this year’s fundraiser a success.
