Fundraiser time again. We are selling locally raised beef boxes. You can pick your box, first-come, first-served. Contact a Davidson Volunteer Firefighter or you can contact the ladies at the city hall.

This fundraiser will assist our volunteer department in purchasing used certified SCBA’s and air bottles for the SCBA’s. SCBA’s assist our volunteers in so many ways such as fire scenes, confined spaces, and hazmat incidents.

Everyone should have a fire and escape plan. They may differ but they all have the same goal! Don’t wait until it’s too late. Make a plan! Practice the plan!

If you live in an apartment or building with many levels, it’s super important to have a fire escape plan so you know how to get out quickly if a fire starts.

🔥 METHODS OF FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT — KNOW HOW FIRES ARE STOPPED 🔥

Fire does not go out by luck—it goes out by science and strategy.

A fire can only exist when four elements are present: heat, fuel, oxygen, and a chemical chain reaction.
To stop a fire, firefighters remove at least one of these elements. That’s the foundation of fire control and fire safety.

🚒 The four methods of fire extinguishment explained:

🔹 Cooling – Water absorbs heat and lowers the temperature below ignition.
🔹 Smothering – Covers the fire to cut off oxygen.
🔹 Fuel Removal (Starvation) – Shutting off or removing what’s burning.
🔹 Inhibiting the Chemical Chain Reaction – Special agents stop the fire at the molecular level.

Each method is effective only when used on the correct type of fire. Using the wrong method—or the wrong extinguisher—can make the situation worse.

🔥 Why this matters:
✔ Prevents fire spread
✔ Protects lives and property
✔ Helps responders and civilians act correctly
✔ Reduces injuries and damage

Fire safety isn’t just for firefighters—it’s for everyone.
Understanding how fires are extinguished helps you respond smarter, safer, and faster.

🔥 Knowledge is protection.
Train smart. Choose the right method. Stay safe.

True! Use with caution!

🔥Burn Bans were lifted for Tillman, Cotton, & Comanche counties this morning 4/6/26

⚠️While we did receive around 3in of rain last week, we do still advise using extreme caution when burning. The ground may be soaked, but a lot of the vegetation is still very dry. On windy & hot days you can still have fires get out of control & then end up with fire trucks stuck in the mud trying to contain them.
