The Mico Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1963 to provide emergency medical and fire protection services to the community of Mico, TX and surrounding area (approximately 70 square miles within Medina county). We are funded by the Emergency Services District (ESD #1), Medina County, and generous donations from the community we serve. We are a 501(C)(3) tax status organization. Our main fire station is located in the town of Mico near the Medina Lake dam. The address is: 7121 CR 271, P.O. Box 6353, Mico, TX 78056. We have four vehicles at this location but several are rather old and not in the best condition. We have a second substation located 140 CR 260W, which houses another elderly tanker/pumper unit to service the southwestern areas of our coverage. We sponsor several community events annually to increase public awareness of fire safety. The main fire station is sometimes used as a public 'town hall' for meetings of interest to the entire community. On the recent 'National Night Out' we hosted a community reception, gave hands-on tours of our equipment, and provided handouts related to fire safety. We have an annual BBQ dinner and auction every spring that is well-attended by the community. We have 18 radio equipped volunteer firefighters that respond to dispatches from the Medina County Sheriffs Office in Hondo, TX. Please consider visiting us at our next training session, social event or business meeting. |
