Interested in becoming a Volunteer Firefighter?

Pecan Grove Volunteer Fire Department consists of members of your community (your neighbors) who volunteer their time to help the firefighters at Pecan Grove Volunteer Fire Department.  We train every week with the crews to stay proficient with changing technology and equipment. Unlike some Texas communities that rely completely on volunteer firefighters, we are a combination department with paid and volunteer firefighters.

Applicants for membership
  1. Applicants for membership must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.

  2. All applicants shall complete the Volunteer Application 

  3. All applicants shall be subject to a background and DMV check. Any applicant convicted of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude will not be considered for membership.

  4. Voting on all applications for membership shall be by secret ballot at the Business Meeting following successful completion of a training program set forth by the Training Captain.

Recruit Academy

In order to provide the highest level of service, all members are required to complete a training program where they will learn the skills and knowledge necessary to safely perform the duties of a firefighter.

All non-certified candidates must complete our Recruit Academy where they will obtain a State Firemen's & Fire Marshals' Association of Texas (SFFMA) firefighter certification.  Candidates who already possess a firefighting certification may not be required to attend our academy.
