On Sunday, March 1, 2026, several members of Crutch Ranch VFD delivered 34 bales of hay donated by the Meyers Family of Skellytown to ranchers in Beaver Texas affected by the recent wildfires. They also coordinated several other trucks to haul hay — a total of 120 bales will be donated.

In times of disaster, this is what community looks like. Neighbors helping neighbors, across county and state lines.

The Crutch Ranch Volunteer Fire Department is incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received from both H-E-B and the Texas A&M Forest Service (TFS) through recent grant awards.

These grants will help close the gap toward the purchase of a new fire truck, a critical piece of equipment that will improve response times and enhance safety for both our firefighters and the community we serve.

We are thankful for organizations like H-E-B and their Spirit of Giving, along with TFS, who continue to invest in rural and volunteer fire departments across Texas.

Because of partners like these, we are better equipped to protect our neighbors and our community.

🚒 Big things happening at the Crutch Ranch Volunteer Fire Department! 🚒

This month, our dedicated volunteers became CPR & Stop the Bleed certified, adding even more life-saving skills to the ways they serve our community. These men show up day and night—balancing families, full-time jobs, and ranch life—because protecting others matters.

Nearly 70% of firefighters in the United States are volunteers, and they respond to the majority of emergency calls in rural America. We’re proud to be part of that legacy and even prouder of the crew willing to step up when it counts most.

Thank you to our volunteers for answering the call

Thank you to our community for the outpouring of support and generosity throughout this year! With the support from our communities we were able to make repairs and revisions to our current equipment. Including new PPE for all of our volunteers. We are continuing to accept donations toward the completion of our second grass fire truck. During this time of giving and blessings remember to consider your local volunteer fire departments!

Merry Christmas and God Bless from the CRVFD!🎄
