Lorenzo VFD (TX) Receives Military Vehicle, Foam-Unit Grant

The Lorenzo Volunteer Fire Department announced on Monday the department received a surplus military vehicle through the Department of Defense Firefighter Property Program along with a $20,000 grant for a slip-on unit from the Texas A&M Forest Service.

Through the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program,volunteers were able to obtain a Stewart Stevenson cargo truck and convert it to a firefighting apparatus by painting it a non-military color, adding side rails and the slip-on unit with foam capability making it service-ready, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service news release.

North Texas Firefighters Launch Database for Special Needs Residents

The Burleson Fire Department is rolling out a program it thinks will save lives, especially those with special needs. The Special Needs Assistance Program is a voluntary database of people with special needs within the community.

“It’s a great benefit for us. What it does is allows us to know specifically in our community the individual or individuals with special needs,” Chief KT Freeman said. “So, when an emergency comes in it is in our database.”

Freeman said the database will save time for first responders, thus saving lives. When there is an emergency, a dispatcher can give the information about the special need to the emergency teams while they are still en route.
