Pendleton Harbor VFD is looking for more volunteers. Whether being for firefighting or Medical first responders. Looking to be able to gain more firefighters , EMRs, EMTs, or paramedics who live in the area to volunteer there time to assist their neighbors within our coverage area, and in desperate need of volunteers within the Lowes Creek, Rebel Ridge, and El Camino areas. No experience is needed to join. We do in house training and send ones to TEEX courses to get further educated in the fire service. Ones who are not medically certified we can also send ones to class for it as well to get ones ready to take and pass their National registry. PHVFD is also one of three depts in our county who have a junior program as well. This being were local students who live in our coverage area between the ages of 16 and seventeen can become a junior member and learn the ropes of the fire service and at the age of 18 be eligible to become a full time member and also have a chance if funds are available for us to pay for their course to the fire/ EMS academy and be reimbursed back by the Texas Forrest service training grant if individual wants to persue a career within those fields. If interested and want to fill out an application please attend one of our business meetings which are held on the second Tuesday of every month at 7PM at our Central Station located at 4405 Palo Gaucho xing on FM 3121, or contact the Fire Chief at 936 201 7788 and he can discuss any further questions you have or be able to meet with you to hand you an application.

Sad thing is prices have went up and this is to out fit just one firefighter. Imagine 15 or 20. Plus insurance, which ranges around 8,000 a year, plus cost of repairs to apparatuses to make sure there capable or responding when the pager sounds, and the high cost of fuel, and just like everybody else the everyday costs like water and electric bill. Our depts other than two in Sabine county are all funded strictly by peoples donations. There is no ESD tax base funding for us rural depts in Sabine county and no city tax to start us off at a yearly budget. All these things are payed for through yals donations

So ... tell us again why that boot drive irritated you, why you think the BBQ supper plates cost too much, why you chose not to make a little donation this year... go ahead, firefighters everywhere are listening ... (image borrowed from another page) Support your local fire departments!
