Garrett Rural Fire Department

This morning our fire station took a direct hit from a microburst or tornado. Two sides of the building and all 3 overhead doors had significant damage. The rear wall has damage as well that will need to be fixed too. Both our Engine and Brush truck have damage to the front ends. We are going to need help from the community to recover from this financial burden. You can send all monatary donations to P.O. Box 142, Ennis, TX 75120.
We do want to thank all the below for coming out and helping us repair the building the best we could:
●Mitchell Anderson and RJ with Texas Iron Concepts, LLC for helping with the repairs
●Mitch with Mueller, Inc. for bringing us replacement sheetmetal and helping with repairs
●Justin Kopec with Kopec Overhead Door for removing the bent garage doors
●Zenan Construction for sending a crew over to help with the clean up
●Palmer Fire-Rescue for providing Pizza and drinks for lunch and helping with repairs
●To the sweet lady that provided donuts for breakfast
●To our neighbors that came over to help where they could

We will still be able to respond to calls, but our station will be out of commission until further notice.
