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.

Dryer Lint Is Highly Flammable

Failure to clean the dryer lint trap is the leading cause of dryer fires. Lint is extremely flammable and accumulates fast. Clean the lint screen before every load, and have the dryer vent and ductwork professionally cleaned at least once a year.

Two Ways Out of Every Room

Every family member should know at least two ways out of every room in the house in case one exit is blocked by fire. Practice your home escape plan at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including children. Pick a meeting spot outside — like a mailbox or tree — so everyone can be accounted for.
