We are most grateful to the West Lake FD in Katy, TX for their generous donation of a 2011 Chevy Tahoe and a 2007 Chevy Avalanche.
We are using the Tahoe here at WLLVFD for a Fire Scene Rehab Unit. While our firefighters are fighting the fires, the Rehab Unit is loaded up with water and medical supplies that they may need to be able to continue fighting the fire. We have a Rehab Team who meets at the station to bring the Tahoe to the scene of major fires to watch and care for the firefighters to prevent them getting overheated or otherwise injured as they are rotated out for breaks and/or medical attention as they fight the fires.
We donated the Avalanche to the Thornton VFD and it is being used as a First Response/Command Unit. Thornton VFD Chief, Paul Miller, came by the station to show us how they have it outfitted and the new identification stickers. He has given this vehicle some major TLC and it should serve them well for many years. Thornton and WLLVFD work together on many incidents and training so both VFD's always stand ready to protect and serve the residents of both districts with mutual aid and support.
If you ordered a home address sign at one of our events, please call or email us at the station to find out if we have received it.
