West Harrison Volunteer Fire Department

From our hearts to theirs, we wish you share prayers for the firefighters of Odessa Fire Dept alongside the family of LT Isai Huerta. We’ve got it from here, brother.

The members of our department would like to extend our sincere congratulations to Firefighter Davis and Firefighter Bible on their successful completion of Kilgore College Fire Academy AND their TCFP test. Both firefighters passed with flying colors!

This achievement represents countless hours of training, dedication, and personal sacrifice. Throughout their time in the academy, both firefighters remained actively involved in department operations, continuing to attend training, respond to calls, and support their fellow members while balancing the demanding responsibilities of their coursework. Their determination, work ethic, and willingness to answer the call reflect the highest traditions of the fire service.

We are proud to recognize this significant accomplishment and grateful for the dedication they have shown every step of the way. Please join us in congratulating Firefighter Davis and Firefighter Bible on this well-earned achievement. We look forward to their continued service and contributions to our department and community.

Today, we remember the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage lights the path toward a future built on hope and enduring freedom.

This sweet girl showed up at our Station off of 968. If anyone knows who she belongs to, please reach out to them so they can take her back home.

Please be careful tonight. With last nights storms already putting stress on the trees and lines, it is likely that some may fall tonight. As always, call 911 if there is an emergency.

Welp folks, we’ve been blessed with rain and the burn ban has been lifted. Please continue to be cautious when burning outdoors and make sure you are not burning materials that are not allowed. Below we have listed the materials the State Fire Marshal’s Office has listed as illegal items:

*Aerosol cans or anything that could explode.
*Electrical insulation.
*Building / construction materials including treated lumber and lumber brought back from clearing trees.
*Plastics and asphalt-based materials.

Well folks, even thought we got some rain, there is still a burn ban in effect. Hopefully with the storms coming on Wednesday we can get enough rain to lift the burn, but for now we ask that you do not burn outside. As always if you have any questions about the burn ban, feel free to call us or the fire marshal’s office. If we are not at the station, leave a voicemail and we will get back to you!

On Saturday March 7, West Harrison VFD responded to a structure fire from lightning striking the residence. WH was able to make a stop of the fire and prevent extension outside of the attic of the residence. We would like to thank Judson Fire Department and Harleton Fire Department for their assistance on this fire.
