TEFRA Hearing for Lease-Purchase Agreement
The Briaroaks Fire Department is excited to announce that we are adding on to station 1 to provide sleeping quarters for our firefighters to more comfortably provide 24 hour coverage to our community. This addition will provide 4 double occupancy bunk rooms and an indoor workout area in a separate but attached building. To partially fund this purchase, we will be seeking financing through a Lease-Purchase agreement, the conditions of which are governed by TEFRA which requires a public hearing. The notice of public hearing is being posted in accordance with TEFRA rules and the hearing will be held on September 24, 2025 at 6pm at Station 1.Can you refill fire extinguishers?
No, we are not able to refill extinguishers. You can purchase a good home fire extinguisher from Amazon or other retailers for around $20.00. These types of fire extinguishers are typically not rechargeable. If you currently have a rechargeable fire extinguisher, you would need to find a private business that can service and refill them for you. You can distinguish between two types of fire extinguishers:
Rechargeable
This type of fire extinguishers has metal heads and Charge/Recharge-labeled gauges.- Disposable
Unlike rechargeable fire extinguishers, these units have plastic heads and Full/Empty-labeled gauges.
