🚒🔥 MUTUAL AID RESPONSE | 21.98-ACRE FIRE 🔥🚒

Today, McMahan Fire & Rescue responded to assist our neighboring department, Southeast Volunteer Fire Department (SEVFD), with a rapidly spreading vegetation fire.

The fire originated from a controlled burn that quickly got out of control. Despite the recent rainfall, vegetation remains extremely dry, allowing the fire to spread rapidly and grow to 21.98 acres.

🤝 NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS

We are always proud to stand alongside our neighboring departments when additional resources are needed. Rural firefighting takes teamwork, coordination, and a shared commitment to protecting our communities.

⚠️ A REMINDER TO OUR COMMUNITY:

Even with the recent rains, conditions remain dangerously dry. Today's fire is a perfect example of just how quickly a controlled burn can turn into a significant emergency.

Please use extreme caution with any outdoor burning, monitor weather conditions, and never leave a fire unattended. Always verify current burn restrictions before lighting any outdoor fire.

Thank you to all the firefighters and departments who answered the call today!

❤️ THANK YOU, MCMAHAN! ❤️

There really aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are after this year’s Annual BBQ & Auction Fundraiser.

To our incredible community — THANK YOU for showing up. Thank you for filling the room, buying plates, bidding in the auction, purchasing raffle tickets, donating items, and simply spending the evening with us. Seeing so many friends, families, neighbors, and supporters come together for McMahan Fire & Rescue was something our members will not soon forget.

As a 100% volunteer fire department, the support we receive from our community means more than most people realize. This fundraiser directly helps us maintain our equipment, improve our capabilities, train our firefighters, and continue answering the call when our neighbors need us most.

But none of this happens without an incredible group of people behind the scenes.

To every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and heart to make this event possible — thank you. From the countless hours of planning and preparation, collecting donations, selling tickets, cooking and serving food, setting up, running the auction, cleaning up, and handling the hundred little things most people never see — you made this happen.

Many of our volunteers spent weeks preparing for an event that lasted only a few hours, and they did it for one reason: because they love this department and the community we serve.

Last night was more than a fundraiser. It was a reminder of what makes McMahan special.

When this community is called upon, you show up. You support one another. You take care of your neighbors.

From every firefighter and member of McMahan Fire & Rescue, thank you for standing behind us, believing in us, and allowing us the privilege of serving you.

We are proud to serve this community — and even prouder to call it home. 🚒❤️

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, McMahan.

🚒❤️ THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE. ❤️🚒

It’s midnight on October 3rd… which means TODAY is the day for our Annual BBQ & Auction Fundraiser.

For our volunteers, this is so much more than just another event on the calendar.

For weeks, our members, families, friends, and supporters have poured countless hours into preparing for today. They’ve collected donations, sold tickets, made phone calls, set up equipment, planned meals, and handled all the little things that most people will never see.

And they’ve done it for one reason:

Because they believe in this community.

McMahan Fire & Rescue is a 100% volunteer fire department. When the tones drop, our firefighters leave dinner tables, family gatherings, jobs, birthdays, holidays, and sometimes warm beds in the middle of the night to answer the call.

They don’t do it for a paycheck.

They do it because this is home. ❤️

And today, we’re asking our community to show up for them.

Come sit down with your neighbors. Share a meal. Listen to some music. Bid on something at the auction. Shake the hand of one of the volunteers who may someday be standing beside you on one of the worst days of your life.

Every plate purchased, every auction bid, every ticket sold, and every dollar raised helps put fuel in our trucks, equipment in the hands of our firefighters, and gives our volunteers the tools and training they need to answer the next call.

🔥 Great BBQ
🎶 Live Music
🔨 Live Auction at 6:00 PM
❤️ And a community coming together for its volunteer firefighters

📅 TODAY — October 3rd
⏰ Dinner begins at 4:30 PM
📍 6450 FM 3158

We’ve spent months preparing for this day.

Now, we simply ask you to show up.

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Come hungry. Stay awhile.

Because when our community calls, we will always do everything we can to answer.

Today, we hope our community answers our call. 🚒❤️

We’ll see you at 4:30 PM.

From all of us at McMahan Fire & Rescue — thank you for standing behind your volunteer fire department.

🔥 BUSY MONDAY FOR McMAHAN FIRE & RESCUE 🔥
Today was a busy Monday for our volunteers, with McMahan Fire & Rescue responding to two separate grass fires within a short period of time.

The day started with a grass fire on Pettytown Road, believed to have possibly been caused by arcing power lines. MFR responded with Brush 46 and Squad 41, and crews were able to quickly contain the fire to approximately 3 acres with no structures lost.
Shortly after clearing that incident, crews were en route to refill our apparatus with water when we were dispatched to a second grass fire on Taylorsville Road, this one caused by sparks from welding operations.
With the first-out units depleted of water from the previous fire, crews returned to the station, swapped apparatus, and immediately responded with Brush 43 and Brush 44. With additional volunteers becoming available later in the day, Brush 42 and Engine 40 also responded to assist.

By the end of the day, McMahan Fire & Rescue had:
🚒 Responded with 6 apparatus
👨‍🚒 Deployed 7 volunteer firefighters
💧 Utilized more than 2,000 gallons of water
🔥 Extinguished approximately 5 acres of grass and pasture

Most importantly, no structures were lost during either incident.
Days like today highlight the importance of a prompt response, ready equipment, and volunteers willing to drop what they're doing when the call comes in.

Two fires. Six apparatus. Seven volunteers. More than 2,000 gallons of water. Zero structures lost.

We’re proud of our volunteers and grateful to report that both incidents were brought under control without the loss of any structures.
