NEW FIREFIGHTER REHAB UNIT 

The WBVFD recently purchased a used 2016 ambulance to upgrade its abilities to assist firefighters during long emergency incidents. This Unit will go on calls within Hill County when dispatched. 


Previously the Support Team had been working out of a van that would carry coolers with water and rehydrating drinks, and due to limited space, only protein bars and snacks. After the Blum Fire in 2023 and the continued high fire danger in Hill County, it was realized that a larger more equipped unit was needed.


With the larger unit they were able to add a microwave which allows them to prepare soup or meals and a coffee maker, as well as having additional room for water, rehydrating drinks, and snacks. Very importantly, it offers a firefighter a place to cool off or warm up within the unit. It also carries an AED, oxygen and medical supplies to handle minor emergencies until CareFlite arrives, along with chairs, canopies, a cot and much more.


Many fires and emergencies can last 3 or more hours with firefighters working in extreme conditions and temperatures. This Unit will help firefighters rest and recharge during a fire.

Thank-You

Thank you everyone that turned out to make our annual fundraiser a wonderful event. We were happy to meet old friends and new residents. A huge shoutout to B & C Exteriors and the awesome cooks for providing and cooking the brisket and sausage along with our own Medical ECA Michelle Burrell and Firefighter/ECA Jessica Painter for the homemade coleslaw, raves were heard all night long. Our amazing resident cookie bakers hit it out of the ballpark again. Our own Firefighter and EMT Tony Dement provided the music for everyone to enjoy and our Asst Chief Bryan Painter MC'd for the night. Looking forward to next year.
