Keep up the good work and call Burnet County Sherriff department before you burn at 512-756-8080. The EMS Department responded to 152 calls in 2006.

THINK SAFETY A good way to remember to check your smoke alarm is at DAY LIGHT SAVINGS TIME - when you set your clocks back/forward always check your batteries even if you don't think they need it.
NEW GRASS TRUCK In February 2007 the department purchased a 2007 Chevy Truck to convert into a brush truck. The truck will be used for grass and brush fires. It will take a lot of manpower and time to put this together. We are hoping to finish and be responding to calls in MAY of this year. Come by the station any Tuesday evening and check out what your support and donations have done for your community.
