The Spicewood Volunteer Fire Department relies on donations to fund the normal operating costs of the department. The normal operating costs of the department for one year is $120,000. Without this minimal amount, the fire department would not be able to perform in the safe and efficient manner that is required.
The equipment that we use and the services that we perform are expensive. Please take time to carefully decide how important an efficient fire department is to you. We understand that not all families are able to afford these services and this is why we offer our services free of charge and leave it up to the community to determine how much they can support us.
All donations are very much appreciated. Even though Burnet County has initiated a cost recover program to supplement our funding, donations are still a vital part of our organization. We do not bill for fire protection. The only services we can bill for are those related to vehicle accidents and hazard material spills etc, all payment is made by your insurance company, you do not see a bill from the us for charges.
We are in the process of working with the county to create a budgeting process which will allow them to cover costs which we cannot cover through donations. BUT at this point the most of our funding is through donations. We appreciate all you are able to donate.
