The Fire & Ice has been given donating to the Buffalo Gap Fire Department since it's creation in 2009. Throw out the years have developed friendship with all of the cooking teams that have come out to support the fire departments in Southern Taylor County. We are one of four fire departments that benefit from the support of Fire & Ice Buffalo Gap, Lawn, Jim Ned, and Moro Fire Departments all do. With the money that Buffalo Gap Fire Dept. has received over the years we have been able to help pay for a new set of TNT Rescue tools and replace two garage doors for the fire station. We have also used some of the money to get an MSA thermal imager that greatly helps with fighting a structure fire. This allows the fire firefighters to move throw the smoke and find the fire and any victims that may still be inside of the house. We are currently saving money to replace one of the older Fire Engines that we have that is a 94 model that is our first out truck for structure fire, MVA, and medicals. It is also the first out truck for mutual aid structure fires and MVAs. The cost of a new Fire Engine is $400,000.00 dollars. This is a process that will take years for us to do, but we are trying to plane for the future. The dynamics of the type of calls have changed over the year with all of the new growth. Years ago, we would only have one or two structure fire a year and a hand full on medicals and MVAs. Now it has changed too twenty structure fires and hundreds of medicals and thirty to forty MVAs. So, the money that is raised for Buffalo Gap Fire Department will go towards a new fire engine for the future of the department. Thanks to the Fire & Ice for the support over the years, and look forward to those too come.
