Jasper Texas Volunteer Fire Department

At 7:45 this evening Jasper VFD was toned out for a mutual aid requests from Trout Creek Vol. Fire Department and Kirbyville Volunteer Fire Dept. They were requesting Tanker, Air Packs, and Man Power for a fully involved structure fire.

Jasper VFD responded with Tanker 2, Engine 5, Hazmat 1, and 13 firefighters. Upon arrival Jasper Fire took over interior attack operations of the fire and with the help of everyone got a quick handle on the flames.

Once the hot spots were knocked out, ventilation began with joint efforts, mop up proceeders were initiated, and Jasper VFD was released from the scene just short of 10:00

The fire was 25 miles away from our station 1 but Jasper Fire is always just a call away for help!

Training never stops in Jasper County, various aspects of emergency services often times requires more agencies and personnel than most think. Glad to see the local agencies teaming up to get the job done.

Attention!

Due to the damage received from recent strong storm winds over the past few days, and the system that created a great amount of damage to the northern portion of Jasper County last night, coupled with projected additional storm systems moving into Jasper County and Southeast Texas over this weekend, a local declaration of disaster has been issued.

This declaration will allow our state, county and local personnel, emergency responders and utility service response crews to conduct operations as needed to protect our citizens' lives and their property.
