Once again the McQueeney VFD Volunteers were ready to respond. When it was learned that an Air Force  veteran in the Schertz area needed help with the removal of two large palm trees that had been killed by the winter freeze, our volunteers came to help with chainsaws and trucks to take care of the task for him. Thank you volunteers, and thank you veterans for your service!

The McQueeney VFD held a social night last Monday. It was an opportunity to meet firefighter’s families and enjoy each other’s company in a casual and comfortable setting. A delicious meal was served including pulled pork sandwiches prepared by Gerald and Sandy Weniger and an array of sides and luscious desserts prepared by the members. Following the meal, a number of members were recognized for completion of EMT and other educational and training programs.
