Briaroaks Fire Department

Briaroaks Fire Department provides Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to a population of approximately 10,000 people living in an area of 35 square miles of the Briaroaks Fire District. The department is incorporated in the State of Texas and is recognized as a 501(c)(3) exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The department responds to over 1000 calls for service each year, most of which are medical calls. Primary funding for department operations is received through the Johnson County Emergency Services District (ESD). The department holds numerous fundraisers throughout the year and also operates a charitable bingo facility in Cleburne, Texas.

All equipment and training will be provided, and all members are covered by worker’s compensation and supplemental insurance.

Carbon Monoxide Is the Silent Killer

Carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless and odorless, making it impossible to detect without an alarm. Install CO detectors on every level of your home and near sleeping areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include headache, dizziness, and nausea. If your CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside immediately and call 911.

Cooking Fires Are the #1 Cause

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Unattended cooking is by far the biggest contributing factor. Never leave the kitchen while something is on the stove, and keep flammable items like towels and paper away from the burner.
