Wimberley Volunteer Fire Dept reports strong year and new truck
The Wimberley Volunteer Fire Department notes fewer fire calls but more oxygen related emergencies, with no major property losses. A new 1969 Chevrolet Emergency Rescue Truck with 180 gallon water tank and pump was purchased and funded by donations under $5,000 for equipment. The department remodels the old school bus shed into Fire House 2 for one truck and a training area, thanks to residents and Hays County officials.
