Established in 1868, the Comanche Volunteer Fire Department in Texas was formed entirely by volunteers. Facing the constant threat of wildfires in the region, these dedicated individuals came together to protect both the county and the city. Without modern equipment or formal training, they relied on grit and determination to fulfill their duty. Over the years, the department evolved but maintained its core principles of courage and service. Today, the Comanche Volunteer Fire Department remains a vital part of the area’s history, embodying the spirit of volunteerism and community resilience.
Donations
We need your help!
As a volunteer fire department, our primary reliance is on the generous donations from the Comanche community. These contributions enable us to purchase essential items such as fuel, new equipment, fire trucks, and cover maintenance expenses. Presently, the cost of small brush trucks exceeds $250,000, engines approach nearly $1,000,000, and a set of the jaws of life comes with a $20,000 price tag. Your support is crucial, and we sincerely need your help to ensure we can continue providing vital services to our community.
