Out here, people still wave.

They stop to check on each other.
They remember your kids’ names.
They bring food when things get hard.
And they still show up when someone needs help.

That kind of community is something to be grateful for.

Especially these days.

Most people spend their weekends relaxing.

Five members of Sisterdale Volunteer Fire Department, along with several other departments across Texas, spent theirs climbing through overturned vehicles, stabilizing complex crash scenes, and learning how to reach patients in some of the most challenging situations firefighters can encounter.

This past weekend, FF Kirby Marshall, FF Nick Randol, FF Justin Taylor, FF Tom Wertman, and FF Stephen Villanueva traveled to Waco, TX to attend an advanced vehicle extrication course hosted by Elm Mott VFD and taught by Republic Rescue, LLC at BYOT Auto Parts.

The vehicles in these photos may look extreme, but every scenario was built around a simple goal: giving firefighters more options when someone’s worst day becomes our emergency.

We’re incredibly proud of these members for giving up their time to continue learning, improving, and investing in the community they serve.

Thank you to Elm Mott Volunteer Fire & Rescue, Republic Rescue LLC, and BYOT Auto Parts in Waco, TX for an outstanding weekend of training.

Join us in thanking these members for dedicating their weekend to training and continuing to invest in the communities they serve 💪🚒

What started as a relatively small grass fire became a much larger incident in a matter of minutes.

Earlier today, Sisterdale Volunteer Fire Department responded to a reported grass fire involving electrical lines. Before the incident was brought under control, the fire spread to a nearby, unoccupied mobile home.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Today’s incident is a reminder that recent rainfall doesn’t eliminate fire risk. Even with green vegetation across the Hill Country, fire can still spread quickly under the right conditions.

Thank you to Waring Tx Fire-Rescue, Comfort VFD, Boerne Fire Department, and Kendall County Office of Emergency Management & Fire Marshal for their assistance today. We are grateful for the strong partnerships that help protect our Kendall County communities.

One of the hardest things about falls — especially in older adults — is how often they get minimized.

“I'm okay.”
“It was nothing.”
“I just slipped.”

But many falls are actually symptoms of something bigger.

Not every kind of responsibility is obvious.

Some of it doesn’t come with a title.
Or a schedule.
Or a way to measure it.

It just shows up in the way people carry things—
making decisions, looking out for others, stepping in when needed.

A lot of what holds a community together looks like that.

Quiet. Consistent. Unnoticed most of the time.

But without it, things don’t work the same.

We’re grateful for the people who carry that weight without needing to be seen for it.

Proud to have been a part of the assist 💪Thankful for all the teams, crews & individuals who showed up last night!

We will be testing our newest siren today on Third Street.

There is no danger to the community and no action is required. This is only a test.

We will update this post later once we have an exact time for the test.

If you hear the siren, let us know in the comments where you are located and if you were able to hear it clearly!

Some nights around the station are a little less formal than others.

And honestly… those are usually the nights where a lot gets learned.

With so many different skills to stay sharp on, some of our experienced members spent the evening helping newer firefighters brush up on brush truck operations, saw familiarization, and some basic cribbing and vehicle extrication processes.

Nothing fancy. Just volunteers investing time in one another.

There was dinner together, stories told, lessons passed down, and a few conversations that lasted longer than they probably needed to.

But that’s part of it too.

Out here, a lot of what makes a department strong happens in moments exactly like this.
