BUFFALO GAP - JNVFD was called for mutual aid to assist BGVFD on a grass fire east of Maxwell Street in Buffalo Gap around 4:00pm Tuesday. The fire apparently started behind some residences on the east side of Maxwell and moved north and east into heavy brush and rough terrain. Crews from Buffalo Gap, Jim Ned, ECCA, View, and Merkel were on scene. Taylor County used their doziers and maintainers to cut fire breaks and provided water support. JNVFD logged in 13 man hours of mutual aid to Buffalo Gap on this fire..

Another Pet Vaccination Clinic in the Books
JNVFD held its 8th annual pet vaccination clinic today at our fire station in Tuscola. We were able to provide 80 rabies vaccinations this year. Special thanks to Dr. Dearing and the Dearing Vet Clinic in Buffalo Gap for sponsoring this event.
Brush 2 Is Back In Service
We have had a great response to our 2009 newsletter so far and we've been able to make some badly needed repairs to Brush 2. It's been out of service since the "Tuscola Fire" on March 5th when the transmission went out. We were able to get a couple of local mechanics to completely rebuild the transmission and clutch. All of our fire trucks are now in service. Thanks to all of those who have helped us with this repair.

Website Redesigned
JNVFD's website has been up and running since this time last year, but was down for about an hour Thursday night while updates where being installed on the server. We have completely redesigned the layout and added new features including our JNVFD News Blog and RSS feeds, a clickable response area map, and updated information about the department. Let us know what you think.
