Please read this message...

The Weslaco Fire Department recently became aware of an individual going door to door on the north side of town identifying themselves as a representative of the Weslaco Fire Department. They are offering home inspections and trying to sell security/fire alarm systems. This person was not in uniform and not in a marked Fire Department vehicle. The Weslaco Fire Department does not routinely go door to door offering home inspections and does not sell alarm systems. If we ever offer services to the citizens of Weslaco we will be in official uniform, with identification, and will be in a marked Weslaco Fire Department vehicle. If anyone, not from the Weslaco Fire Department, comes to your home offering Fire Department services, please report this to the Weslaco Police Department at 956-968-8591. If you have any Fire Department related questions, please call us at 956-447-3415.

Thank you,

Weslaco Fire Marshal’s Office
