Round Rock Fire Foundation

06/16/2026

The Round Rock Fire Foundation was created from lived experience.

We understand the unique realities of firefighter family life because they are woven into the foundation of our organization. That understanding continues to shape our commitment to supporting firefighters, spouses, children, and families through every season of life.

Thank you to CRACKYL Magazine for sharing the story of how the Round Rock Fire Foundation came to be and why supporting firefighter families remains at the center of everything we do.

The Round Rock Fire Foundation joins our community in mourning the loss of Round Rock Fire Department’s Driver Zachary French. 🖤

For nearly 19 years, Zac served the people of Round Rock alongside the men and women of the Round Rock Fire Department.

He was a devoted father, a dedicated firefighter, and a cherished member of our fire family — someone who gave himself to this community with courage and heart.

In the days ahead, we will grieve together, lean on one another, and hold Zac’s family and his crew close. That is what this fire family does.

Many have asked how they can help. For those who wish to support Zac’s family:
🖤 Tap the donation link in our Linktree (link in bio)
🖤 On the donation page, choose “Honor”
🖤 Enter the name “French” so your gift is designated for his family

Rest easy, Zac. 🖤

Today we’d like to introduce you to Diedra Brownell. Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?After a fire department family experienced a profound tragedy, the Round Rock Fire Department ...

The Round Rock Fire Foundation was founded on the belief that in fire service, family is a constant, showing up on the hardest calls, the longest nights, and especially when one of our own needs support.

Right now, Austin Fire Lieutenant Oscar Granados and his family are facing a long road after his son, Osci, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. The Austin Firefighters Association is doing what this profession has always done best: stepping forward, shoulder to shoulder, and taking care of family.

This BBQ and Bike & Classic Car Show is more than an event. It’s firefighters, friends, and community members turning care into action. Every plate purchased and every donation goes directly to the Granados family.

If you’re able, show up. Buy a plate. Bring a bike or classic car. Share the event. This is how the fire service moves as one family, every time it matters.

📍 Fire Museum at the Austin Fire Association Union Hall
📅 Sunday, February 8
🍽️ BBQ plates: $20 pre-sale only
⏰ Plate pickup starts at 11:00 AM
🏍️ Bike & Classic Car Show arrivals by 10:00 AM

We stand with the Granados family. Always.

The Austin Chapter Men of Fire Motorcycle Club invites the community to a BBQ Fundraiser & Bike and Classic Car Show in support of Fire Lieutenant Oscar Granados and his family.
On November 7, 2024, Oscar’s son, Osci Granados, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident and now faces a long road to recovery. During this challenging time, we are coming together to support the Granados family in every way possible.
This event is made possible through the generous support of Smokey Mo’s BBQ and Austin Relief and Outreach, ensuring that 100% of all proceeds go directly to the Granados family.
