From the Fire Chief:

We are coming to the end of our year physically speaking although we have started our new fire year beginning October. We have had a tough year as have all departments in the county. But the people of the county and our community have also again supported and donated to all departments when we were in need. Our community by all standards are honorary members for all they have done for us. We just completed our last fundraiser for the year and had a spectacular turn out and so much support. We are truly family and we hope that when we respond to something that you need, you know we are fighting for you. Please keep all of our fantastic firefighters in your prayers. Please be responsible when deciding to burn and notify the Sheriff department prior to burning. I am asking because when you do that and someone calls in about a fire, they do not have to call us out which saves us expenses. Again, thank everyone one in our community and all the supporters we have around the county, to include McLennan County. And if you have any needs we can assist with, please notify us and if we can help, that's our job. God Bless and see you at our first Function of 2027 which we will post on our calendar, here soon as we can.

🚨 Doran Belknap lll aka Bubba 🚨

My name is Doran Belknap and people call me ,”Bubba.” I am currently an officer (training Lieutenant)  for Coryell/ Osage Volunteer Fire Department.

I became a firefighter for Coryell City Osage Volunteer Fire Department April 2006 at the age of 20 almost 21. What made me want to become a firefighter was the tragedy of having to watch my grandparents house burn down. I didn’t want to see the same thing happen to others. My motivation to stay a firefighter is helping others and their gratitude for our help, whether it’s a structure fire, field fire, car accident, or even medical. The reaction is part of what keeps me going.

On July 19, 2008, I met what became my wife, we got married January 22, 2010. I took in her oldest as my own, and we had our first August 16, 2009. From there we had 6 more children, our final March 9, 2022. In total we have a total of 8 children. We are involved in church and have been part of different ministries.

Over the total of 20 years being in Coryell/ Osage Volunteer Fire Department, and in those 20 years spending 2 years at Sparta Fire Department, I have learned that though I am not as young as I once was, my motivation and passion is still there. I plan to continue to fight fires, learning and training in other areas to have the ability to help in other areas within the Fire Department.

Grateful to be part of this Fire Department, thank you.

We hope everybody comes out next Saturday 6 to 8 for our fish fry. We have all the fixings will be ready to go. Anyone interested in buying a raffle ticket for a $500 Visa gift card if you need tickets contact any of the firefighters or myself on Facebook and we will make sure we get you some raffle tickets prior to the event and if you need them, then you can buy them at the event before we give it away.

🔥🚒 WHO SAID WE WERE OUT OF FIRE SEASON?! we may not have a burn ban, but that doesn’t mean we’re in the clear 😂

A big THANK YOU to Gatesville VFD for assisting Coryell City Osage VFD with today’s fire. We appreciate our neighboring departments always being ready to jump in and help when the call comes in! 💪🚒

Stay safe out there, folks, and remember: just because you think burn season is over doesn’t mean Mother Nature is done testing our firefighters! 🚒🔥
