Did anyone else see that big cloud of black smoke yesterday? Your Elk VFD was called to assist Bellmead fire along with many other departments. We appreciate Waco Fire and Robinson Volunteer Fire Department for setting up excellent rehab facilities. I know our team used them as well as many there. We fought along side Leroy/Axtell Fire and Rescue, Lacy Lakeview VFD, West VFD, Waco Fire, Bellmead Fire, Hallsburg VFD, Robinson VFD, Hewitt VFD, Ross VFD, Elm Mott VFD, and more. The fire was big but our response was bigger. We can't say thank you enough to those that were there alongside us.

To our community thank you! We used the Gatorade you have provided for ourselves and our fellow firefighters. There was a delivery just as we were heading out, thank you for that especially.

There isn't a person who hasn't heard about the huge fires in Hamilton (Rio Escondido) and now in Ross. These are fires that have taken over thousands of acres, with the potential to continue due to weather conditions. The numbers in the picture are from the Texas Forestry Service website and are current as of 6:23am today.
Check on friends and family in the area. The crews working these are working hard. We have local VFD's that have gone on assignment to help in these areas as well. Let's send all the prayers we can to all who are working, affected, or will be affected by these fires.

08/25/2026

Please pray for the people who are working this fire, the teams that are supporting the firefighters, and the residents who are in the area. They are working hard!

We want to say a huge THANK YOU to our community. We have had two deliveries of Gatorade and one of water (cases). We can not say thank you enough for these donations. When we are hydrated we can make sure we get the job done.

Thank you for the love!

Yesterday, your Elk VFD was called out for mutual aid for a grass fire. We assisted Lake Mexia VFD, alongside Leroy/Axtell Fire and Rescue, Prairie Hill VFD, and Groesbeck VFD, to knock this fire out. However, since it involved logs that were on fire and kept smoldering, we got many callback calls. Unfortunately, this will continue to happen due to the telephone poles and railroad ties that are smoldering. We appreciate the public's concern, but we have firefighters who are monitoring the situation, and these poles are deep in the burn area, so they shouldn't catch any new area on fire.
