DEPARTMENT STATUS UPDATES
Current Department Status
(April 4, 2022)
Welcome everyone to the first quarter of 2022. We hope that everyone is doing well as we all try and return to some sense of normalcy. I would hope that we have turned the corner on COVID.
​
We are now faced with another terrible crisis and that is our state-wide drought. Our area of Texas is either in the EXTREME or EXCEPTIONAL level of drought and it has been very evident in the number and severity of grass and brush fires we have seen lately. The county recently extended the BURN BAN for another 60 days. NO BURNIING OF ANY KIND IS ALLOWED!! YOU COULD FACE A FINE OF $500.00.
​
Every time we respond to a fire call, we put our personnel and equipment in harms way. We are in constant need of donations, whether they be in the form of bottled water, Gatorade, snacks, or monetary donation, all are most appreciated. If you would like to make a donation, please contact any of our members, or call 830-569-9895 for more information.
​
The department has added a BURN BAN FLAG POLE AND FLAG IN DOWNTOWN CAMPBELLTON, Please make yourself aware of the location in the area of Brazos Street and ALT. 281. The Burn Ban flag will fly as long as the county is under burn ban conditions. Please be SMART and do not break the law by burning!!

A NOTE FROM THE CHIEF
I would like to take this time to say "Thank You," to all the individuals and companies who have recently donated to our fire department. We have been very busy lately with the increasing number of brush fires that have broken out across our area and the county. It takes a great deal of effort, personnel power, fuel and other expenses to keep this department up and running, especially when our call volume increases. Therefore, I again would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to those who have donated to our small department. I ask that anyone who would like to donate, please contact anyone of our members, or email us at paisanovfd1@gmail.com or call me at 830-569-9895. Once again, thank you for your support.

Respectfully,
