When a fire breaks out in our community(and mutual aid), every second—and every gallon—counts. Since we rarely have a hydrant nearby in the county, we rely on water tenders for our water supply!
What is a Water Tender?
Think of this truck as a massive mobile fire hydrant. It carries 3,000 gallons of water directly to the scene, providing the critical supply needed to knock down fires quickly. It is a vital asset for:
Structure Fires: Supplying the high-volume water flow required to save property.
Grass & Brush Fires: Delivering water to remote fields and wooded areas where hydrants don't exist.
Wreck Scenes: Providing immediate protection and fire suppression on the road.
Help Us Protect Our Neighbors
It takes a dedicated team to keep this equipment ready and moving. We are currently looking for volunteers to join the department and help us serve the community.
Training Provided: You don't need prior experience; we'll teach you everything from truck operations to fire suppression.
The Reward: There’s no better feeling than knowing you were there for your neighbors on their toughest day.
Join the Team: If you’re looking for a way to give back and be part of something bigger, we have a seat for you.
Ready to step up? Stop by the station Mondays @7 at 3123 FM559 to grab an application or message us here to learn more about volunteering.
