SEVERE WEATHER & FLOODING POSSIBLE THIS WEEK

Hood County could see several rounds of thunderstorms Wednesday through Friday. The National Weather Service says some storms may become severe as they arrive late Wednesday afternoon and evening. Heavy rain through Friday could also cause localized flooding, especially on low-lying roads and at crossings.

Now is a good time to secure loose outdoor items, charge your phone, and make sure you can receive weather alerts. If a warning is issued for your location, move indoors and follow the instructions from the National Weather Service.

Never drive through a flooded roadway or around a barricade. Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

The timing and location of the strongest storms and heaviest rain may change. We’ll continue monitoring conditions and share updates as needed.

Check out this family-friendly night out at Dennington Farms and be on the lookout for one of our trucks from time to time for the kids to see.

Small change of plans for this evening!

Our dear friend Christian Alan Hansen is on doctor’s orders to give that amazing voice of his a little rest. We’ll definitely miss having him perform tonight, but his health is far more important than any gig.

Thankfully, Hunter Smith came in to save the day and will be performing 6–9 PM in Christian’s place!

We’re incredibly grateful for the network of musicians, food trucks, vendors, and friends who continue to show so much support and love to Dennington Farms. It truly takes a village, and ours keeps showing up.

Come hang with us tonight! We’ll have great music, great food from Crust Me You’ll Love It , cold drinks, and plenty of fun at the farm.

🚨 NEW CAPABILITY | BOAT 20 🚤🔥

North Hood County Volunteer Fire Department is proud to announce the acquisition of our 2023 Rescue One 1673 X3 Fire Rescue Boat from DCBE-Acton VFD, which will soon be placed into service as Boat 20.

For some time, there has been a need for a dedicated fire and rescue boat capability on the north side of Lake Granbury and the Brazos River. With a significant portion of our response district bordering the lake, emergencies on or near the water present unique challenges where quick access and the right equipment can make a critical difference.

Boat 20 adds an entirely new capability to our department, allowing our firefighters to respond directly to incidents on the water, including water rescues, distressed or sinking vessels, fire emergencies, victim recovery operations, shoreline incidents, and other emergencies requiring access from the lake.

The boat is also equipped with bow mounted victim lift as well as a fire pump, giving our crews the ability to conduct firefighting operations from the water and provide an additional water supply option during incidents along the shoreline.

While it has arrived our members will be busy getting it in service with equipment, new graphics, and training on boat handling, launching and trailering, navigation, fire pump operations, water rescue, victim retrieval, crew safety, and emergency operations.

This acquisition represents more than another piece of equipment—it represents another tool to better serve the citizens and visitors of North Hood County and Lake Granbury.

We’re excited to bring this much-needed capability to the north side of the lake and look forward to sharing more as our crews complete training and Boat 20 officially enters service.
