đźš’ New Addition to the Fleet!
We are excited to announce that Plow 13 is officially joining the Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue family!
Located at our Uvalde station, Plow 13 will be placed into active service starting today. A huge shout-out and thank you to our hardworking Truck Plow Committee for the hours of dedication they put into making this happen.
We can’t wait to see this beauty in action serving our community for those once-a-year snow events. And speaking of waiting if you’ve
ever wondered how to keep an April Fool in suspense, we’ll tell you about it tomorrow!
There are reports of a child drowning in a neighboring community — although not our district it is a somber reminder to always practice water safety. Whether a pool, the beach or lake plan to be safe. Our sympathies to the family.

Busy Day
It’s been a busy and exciting day for us here in Sheldon. We were dispatched to 2 working vehicle fires back to back. While units were clearing those calls we were dispatched to a working RV Fire that was brought under control quickly. Then when E13 made it back to the station they had something waiting for them! Our brand new Rescue Boat and Zodiac Rescue Boat. This unit will be WR-23. Great work today [...]
