Andy Anderson, 1422

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Howard “Andy” Anderson, a dedicated firefighter who served our community and the Lake Jackson Volunteer Fire Department for 50 years. Andy followed these years of service by continuing to work around the station for many years more. Andy passed away on September 29th, 2026, at the age of 84.

Throughout a remarkable half-century of service, Andy demonstrated unwavering loyalty, mentorship, and a deep commitment to public safety. His legacy helped train and lead multiple generations of firefighters in our department and the firefighting community. Andy helped build our department and has impacted countless lives of those he protected and touched over the decades.

We extend our deepest condolences to Andy's family and loved ones during this difficult time. Details on the services will be shared when they are available.

Yesterday afternoon your Wild Peach Fire Department crew and family gathered for a family day. Many got to enjoy the festivities and the kids enjoyed the bounce house and mega tetris.

We had great conversations with amazing food. Also it wouldn't be a fire house event without a friendy competition.

We had a corn hole tournament some of the rounds got pretty hot but nothing the team couldn't handle. Huge congratulations to our Chief Johnny, and his partner Trenten on winning.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made this a fun event.

Yesterday evening approximately around 5:53 P.M. in the 2500 block of F.M. 1459, also known as Boyscout road. Your Wild Peach Fire Department crew got called to assist Old Ocean Volunteer Fire Dept. with a fully involved structure fire.

Tanker 1607 went enroute with two, Engine 1601 with five, and Engine 1603 with three.

Sweeny Fire and Rescue West Columbia Volunteer Fire Department along with Central EMS, Brazoria Sheriff Office, and potentially other all responded to assist with the extinguishment of the fire.

All Wild Peach Fire crews returned back to service around 8:40 P.M. this is just another prime example of how well all our neighboring departments can work together for the community.

Years later a friend from high school, who was a Junior firefighter at the time, convinced me to come by his station during a training night when I was 17 to see what fun they were having. I was hooked from there!

I've reached all my career goals as a career Fire Chief and Fire Marshal. Now I enjoy volunteering in my community...Hopefully helping the next generation of young firefighters learn how to become old firefighters, so they can teach the future generation.
