There's alot of misconception about this topic. Not only within the department, but also sometimes in the public eye.

The hard truth is that we have to heavily rely on eachother. Neighboring departments, sometimes carry different specialized tools or equipment needed for a call. Sometimes its just the knowledge from the neighboring departments personnel or strategies that are needed.

Whatever the situation, one thing is for sure. We all show up to the call and will give it our all to ensure safety to life and also to preserve property and the environment.

Just an update, we currently are not under a burn ban but if weather conditions don't change soon it is a high possibility it will happen sooner then later.

Certifications are great to have, but what weight does it hold when no one shows?

Have you ever wanted to join your Iocal fire department? But felt since you have no experience, no training that your not qualified?

Were here to tell you your wrong, of course they are good to have it looks good on the application. In reality though you don't have to have any, we will begin training and also set forward outside department trainings as well if your interested. The fire will never stop buring to ask if your certified or not then change course. When you show up you can make the difference.

If your interested in joining the Wild Peach Fire Department we meet Wednesday nights at 7 P.M. if your not within our response area reach out to the department closest to you. We can assure you they need the help as well.

Yesterday evening your crew got after it for the training session.
Pulling all the hose off Engine 1603 and inspected it making sure after hose testing the hose was reinstalled correctly.
While doing this it gives great opportunity to show some of the newer members and also refresh senior members what to look for when inspecting the hose.
Keeping these trucks in ready to go manner takes a whole team. We had fourteen total personnel make the meeting.

As many of you all know, summer for the kids is coming to a close. With that being said be extra vigilant while driving as school busses and also kids will be out. Early morning hours some even while still dark at driveways.

Remember don't pass a school bus while it is stopped. Be courteous to the bus drivers as well. Their top priority is to safely transport these kids to and from school.

Bringing in a new week we have the pleasure of introducing another memeber, though this one might be currently inactive due to working out of area at this time he is still one of our own. We would like to introduce.....

1.) Name, rank or position?
Allen J. Timmer, Former Captain
2.) Years of service?
16
3.) Years of service in Wild Peach Fire Department?
16
4.) Funniest memory while being in Wild Peach Fire Department?
While Filling up Tanker 1607 with 3000 gallons one evening after a call and when I grabbed my bunker jacket, a loop on my jacket caught the rear dump shoot switch which caused about 1000 gallons to dump into the truck bay before we realized what happened and shut the switch back off. Not funny at first, but I will say our truck bay has not been that clean in a while!
5.) Fire Department given nickname? (if applicable)
N/A always went by A.J.
6.) Favorite apparatus to drive or operate?
I enjoyed driving the 5-Ton brush trucks (1600, 1604) that will go just about anywhere for a wildland fire. I also liked Tanker 1607 that would serve as a tanker or could be used as a first out engine for fighting structure fires.
7.) Favorite dish or dessert to eat?
Smoked Brisket (I miss our old cook off days which the department came together to cook brisket for fundraising) I also love a good burger and just about anything sweet for dessert will make me happy.
8.) What or who made you want to join the fire service?
Charlie Reed, who was a fellow archer with me at the Brazoria County Bowman Club was discussing his fire department excursions one day and told me to come by the department and sign up. Charlie also served as Wild Peach Volunteer Fire Department Chief in his long fire service and was heavily involved. He was a great guy (R.I.P my friend) and taught me many things in archery and firefighting, along with telling many great stories that only he could tell.
9.) Favorite hobbie outside of the fire department?
Archery and Hunting
10.) Long term goals of being a firefighter?
I wanted to be there for my community in there time of need, as we have all been down on our luck and just need that helping hand. It also turned into being a part of a tight group of dedicated individuals and having each others back, which takes a team effort to be successful in the fire service and to make sure we all return home safe.

This morning we would like to recognize and also thank National Volunteer Fire Council and also Drip Drop hydration.

"Hot summer days, heavy gear, and long responses make hydration a top priority. Thanks to DripDrop and National Volunteer Fire Council for the generous donation of DripDrop electrolyte drink mix as part of the 2026 DripDrop Hydration Giveback Campaign. This will help us fight dehydration and keep our crews at their best.
