In an Emergency, Dial 9-1-1

If you plan to burn your property, then you must call the Gillespie County / Fredericksburg Fire-EMS Dispatch Office at 830-990-8793 option 1 and give your name and location of the burn.

Also, you should call Willow City Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department's Fire Chief Stanley D. Rabke at 817-395-3881 to let him know of your intentions and if you might need any necessary equipment, trucks and personnel on standby. Please check the weather conditions daily for three days in advance of your burn project for wind and humidity. If it will be windy or register a low humidity, then do not burn during that time. Your burn project must not be started until one hour after sunrise and all visible flames must be extinguished one hour before sunset (per the TCEQ Publication "Outdoor Burning in Texas").

If you have a locked gate, we urge you to inform the Willow City Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department and the Gillespie County / Fredericksburg Fire-EMS Dispatch of your code or means of entry. This information is kept confidential. Access to your property is vital to quick response to your emergency, whether it be fire or medical.

Please keep entrances and driveways to structures and fence lines clear of low hanging branches and narrow passageways. Height clearance should be at least 12' and a 12' to 16' width is most useful.

If you have water sources on your property, we urge you to inform us of those assets, too. Dry hydrants, rainwater collection tanks with proper hydrant connections for fire hoses, ponds, swimming pools, or other water sources help a great deal in efficiently extinguishing a fire. The WCVFR department can assist you with information and possibly the proper connections for our hoses.
