BANDERA FIRE and RESCUE

Promptly respond to fire, automobile and swift water emergencies, to name a few. We also assist EMS when requested.

Recruit, Educate, and Train our volunteer fire and rescue department. To provide the right equipment to respond to fire, automobile, swift water emergencies and support EMS as requested.

As a volunteer fire department that has continually served the City of Bandera and surrounding area with the typical Fire Engine, Tanker, and Rescue Equipment. We also have a Brush Truck to extinguish fires in less accessible areas. We attend training, and have increased our fundraising and grant writing capabilities recently. We are in need of additional equipment and tools and are willing to do what it takes to acquire them so that we can serve and protect our residents and businesses.

2018-2019 we purchased a rescue truck that we call "Rescue 1" to replace the one we retired in 2016. We were also awarded a grant to help pay for maintenance and updating of our firehouse on Main Street. Updates included LED lighting throughout our firehouse. New paint and flooring were also installed.

2019-2020 Our grant writing this year is pursuing the payoff of a recently purchased the rescue truck that we call "Rescue 1" . In addition we are adding a website to increase transparency.

We are looking to the future as our county continues to grow. We are in the process of procuring a sub-station (land and building) close to our more densely populated area. This station will also eventually house a ladder or aerial truck because our current station on Main Street in Bandera, Texas will not accommodate such tall apparatus and as the county grows we need to add apparatus and equipment.
