West VFD

West VFD Welcome to West Fire Department page!!! The first equipment consisted of a large water tank mounted on a horse drawn wagon.

Founded in 1894 as West Hose Company No.1, West VFD has proudly served the citizens of West and surrounding communities with pride and dedication.

~~Since 1894 the city of West has been served by West Hose Company No. 1, an all volunteer fire department. Early newspaper accounts point with great pride to the performance of the fire department. By 1900 the city had acquired a “modern” Seagraves Ho

rse Carriage equipped with four extinguishers, four ladders and 1000 feet of hose. At that time the city was equipped with 20 fire hydrants. Today the West Fire Department consists of 35+ volunteers, 2 Class A Engines, a 3000 gallon tanker/tender,2 brush trucks and a command vehicle. West Fire Department utilizes the current 911 system and has a response area which includes a large portion surrounding the City of West. The Department utilizes its equipment and manpower to maximize its resources to provide superior fire protection for persons and property from harm and damage.

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation is asking communities, fire service organizations, and religious organizations to help us honor our fallen firefighters by participating in Bells Across America for Fallen Firefighters on May 2-3, 2026. A moment of remembrance can occur at any time leading up to and including the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. Fire department representatives are encouraged to work with their clergy and community leaders to develop an appropriate tribute.
