What the department does

As a volunteer fire and rescue department, Bruceville-Eddy VFD responds to a wide range of calls, including:

Structure and grass/wildland fires
Vehicle accidents and rescue along IH-35 and local roads
Medical first response in support of EMS
Hazard and public-safety calls

The department is staffed by community volunteers who train regularly and turn out around the clock — a small crew protecting their own neighbors.

Volunteering & supporting the department

Volunteer fire departments always need community members willing to serve, and they rely on local support. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter or supporting the department, contact the department or City Hall to ask about requirements, training, and how to get involved. The department holds regular meetings; the City’s notification channels post dates and community updates.

Outdoor burning & burn bans

Central Texas can get very dry, and a burn ban may be in effect in McLennan or Falls County during high-risk conditions. Before doing any outdoor burning:

Check whether a county burn ban is currently in effect — burning during a ban is prohibited and can bring fines.
Ask the fire department or City Hall about any permit or notification requirements.
Never leave a fire unattended, keep water or a hose nearby, and avoid burning on windy days.

Fire safety at home

Simple steps make a big difference in a rural community: install and test smoke alarms, keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, plan and practice a home escape route, clear dry brush away from structures, and know your address and nearest cross street so you can direct 911 responders quickly.
