Nature: Duty Crew – Prearranged Standby – Houston Fire Department

Location: Houston, De

On Saturday, October 10^th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company provided a designated Duty Crew to coordinate a pre-arranged standby assignment for the Houston Fire Department.  This coverage allowed the Houston Fire Department to celebrate and host their 100^th Anniversary Event.

The Houston VFC hosted and invited their community, friends, neighboring fire companies, and supporters to join them as they celebrated 100 years of dedicated service.

Since 1926, generations of volunteer firefighters, EMTs, and community members have answered the call to protect the Town of Houston and the surrounding communities. Over the past century, our members have responded to thousands of emergencies, supported countless community events, and built a tradition of service that continues today.

The day's festivities included:

Antique Fire Apparatus Muster Fire Apparatus Displays Food and Refreshments Family-Friendly Activities Historical Displays and Memorabilia Recognition of Past and Present Members Fellowship with Firefighters from Across the Region

Indian River utilized Rescue 80 to coordinate this assignment.

Indian River expresses it appreciation gratitude to Houston VFC for reaching this milestone.
