Schulenburg Volunteer Fire Department

One of the traditions we’ve kept alive at SVFD… Any time we have members attend training, they get to put on a drill for the department when they return. Recently Dylan, Dominque, and Brandon completed classes at TEEX Texas A&M Fire Training School. Last night they put on a drill for the rest of the crew and showed us some of the things they learned. Having them lead a drill also gives them a feel for being a leader in our group. We always strive to bring in new ideas and new methods of doing what we do! Great job guys!

At last Thursday’s business meeting we were visited by Ed Moeller, representing Hermann Sons Life Schulenburg, with a very generous donation! We are very appreciative of the contribution to our equipment fund and will make sure it is put to good use!!

SVFD was super excited to welcome a new member to our fleet this week! For the past several months we’ve been working with Metro Fire Apparatus Specialist Inc. on a custom built quick response brush truck. Because this vehicle will primarily be used in our rural areas, it was paid for in full by the contributions to our budget through Fayette County. We are looking forward to finalizing the finishing touches on Booster 41 and putting her in service!

The first picture includes truck committee members Caleb Geissen company 2 foreman, Quentin Riche company 1 foreman, Gary Eudy assistant Chief, Metro Fire Territory Manager Todd Johnson, Darren Guentert Chief, Drew Brossman assistant Chief, and Randy Wick assistant Chief.

8-3 13:58 tones for a hydraulic oil spill at Lyons and Hwy 77. Sometimes it’s not about fire, rescue, or medical assistance. Sometimes it’s just dirty work to ensure public safety. 😣🤣
