Salado Volunteer Fire Department

Friends,

What a great Fire Department we have!

The Fish Fry, 6 Sept, brought the community together for a great cause -- supporting the Fire Department who does many things that we sometimes never acknowledge.

Last Thursday, Salado Schools, remembered 9/11.  Upon arriving, the first thing on the scene was the Salado Fire Department.  Not one or two people but a number of volunteers along with the Salado Police, Bell County Sheriff, Scott and White EMS, and others.

Most of the time, we enjoy the game or the event and never notice that they are there for our health and safety.  If you ever attended a City Council meeting and heard Fire Chief Barrier's report, it is quickly realized what a great Fire Department we have!  You leave "awed" at all they do.

On 11 October, the village will have the opportunity to support the Fire Department in their Smokin' Sneakers 5 K and half-marathon.  For the 5K run/walk, the cost is $35.  For the Half Marathon, it is $70.  After the 5K, there will be 2-hours of family fun from 2-4 P.M. at Station 2 on FM 2484.  What a great idea.

Do not know about you, but the treadmill is coming to life today.  There are about 3 week until the event, time to get in shape.

Thank you Salado Fire Department.  You not only protect us -- you bond us together as a village.
