Summertime is almost here and we know folks want to get their pool open soon! We do not want to be a negative nelly but this is the time we start getting calls about pool filling.
Unfortunately, most fire departments DO NOT fill swimming pools, us included. We have limits to what we can do and our liability insurance is not intended to cover possible damage to your property, pool deck, pool liner, equipment, or injuries that might occur on this type of request.
We love ya, we really do, but unless your pool is on fire we can't really bring water to it. (disclaimer, please don't set your pool on fire, that just doesn't make sense). Besides, the water we use for fires and training is not intended for us to distribute for such an activity and the water that flows through our trucks gets dirty sometimes. You really do not want a pool full of something that looks like it was poured from a coffee cup.
We hope you have a fantastic summer and enjoy your pool with friends and family. Have a Safe Summer!

Listen to your Dogs!
EARLY this morning firefighters responded to a smoke investigation in town. The occupants were awaken by their dog barking and smelled smoke. WVFD firefighters actively investigated to find the source of the smoke to be wiring in the attic. Quick thinking and use of thermal imagers made for a timely extinguishment with minimal fire or water damage. Mutual Aid was called for backup with much appreciation from the Mt. Vernon and Perryville Fire Depts.

Thank you to those who came before us, who taught us the importance of tradition and that "good enough" is never the standard.
Thank you to our dedicated volunteers! Your time and diligence in perfecting your craft, and in serving the citizens and visitors of Winnsboro, we honor and appreciate you.

Members attended the 3rd Annual Jamie Graham Memorial Training day at McKinney Fire Dept. on Saturday. It was a day filled with learning new techniques, increasing awareness and abilities. Your WVFD volunteer members are continuously training to help serve this community better.

Great way to honor a fallen McKinney firefighter and leader!

Whew...that could have been a double trouble day. WVFD was dispatched to a vehicle fire this morning. Upon arrival firefighters found the vehicle to be fully involved and was parked close to a residence. Quick work provided for a save for the home, not so much for the vehicle.

What did you do on your day off from work? Well these 5 men worked hard training at the Eastman Fire School in Longview. Our WVFD Members are constantly working to improve their skill set so they can VOLUNTEER to serve Winnsboro better. Thank you Jason, Chance, Ethan, Tanner and Dillon for taking the time to strengthen yourselves as well as the Department.
