Texoma Fire District:

I hope everyone is enjoying this HOT weather. We sure do need some cool weather to head our way. Having to water to just save bushes and plants is hard. But we do live in Oklahoma, and this is the normal.

Won’t be long and we will be complaining of the cold — crazy. Do be careful if you have to be outside for work or even pleasure, keep hydrated. But enjoy the summer!

Well, the fire department has sure had its share of structure fires this past month plus grass fires and car wrecks. Our department is sure one to be proud of as they get up and get the job done. We do have a great group of firemen, and I have been there and know how tough it can get out in the heat and all. So, if you see one of the firemen in our department or any in the other departments, take the time to say thank you. We are strictly a volunteer department and so a thank you goes a long way.

I want to stress that we do need volunteers to join our fire department. Please come join us. We need more volunteers; our district keeps growing and we need more people to commit to helping. The monthly fire meeting is August 19, 6:30 p.m. at the fire station. Come down and join the meeting and talk to the guys.

Also, a reminder that the storm shelters are still available to anyone the would like to have one installed. Please give Robert Chaney, Emergency Manager, in Madill at the Emergency Management building and he has the paperwork for you and will explain how it all works and the reimbursement.

The ladies Auxiliary is putting the final touches on the Mexican-Pile On that is celebrate birthdays and have a lot of fun. A good way to get acquainted if you are new to the area. So, come on down.

Well, school is starting, so be sure to watch for the little ones at crossing roads. This is an exciting time for the new ones going to school, so watch. Good luck to all the kids, big and little, for another good year.

Until next week, stay safe and please keep our firemen in your prayers.

scheduled for August 31, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at the Texoma Community/Training Center. Mark your calendars and make your plans, come eat and enjoy the conversations. Meet the firemen and auxiliary ladies. Lots of homemade deserts to top the meal.
