McQueeney volunteers answered the call for pit road firefighters at a Nascar race at COTA on March 23rd and March 24th. Justin Burns and Steven Smith, shown in the photo below, both represented our department well at the races. Thank you Justin and Steven!
It is probably little known and underappreciated how hard our volunteers work to prepare themselves for the variety of situations they have to deal with on a regular basis. Training takes place three Monday evenings each month, plus often times on weekends and other weekdays. Often they jointly train with other area departments. Training includes medical, fire and other emergency situations. Please thank and praise these members for their selfless dedication to the welfare of our community!
Dear McQueeney residents. Regrettably, due to circumstances beyond the department’s control, we regret to announce the cancellation of our annual Halloween bay event this year.
We will still be distributing candy at our second location on Walnut Avenue in McQueeney Estates on Halloween evening. All goblins, please stop by!
Three members of the McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department participated in the annual Tower Climb commemorating those firefighters and first responders that lost their lives in the terrorist attack at the twin towers in New York on 9/11/2001. The participants climb the Tower of the Americas twice to represent the 110 floors of the towers that were destroyed. On that fateful day, 343 firefighters, 70 law enforcement offers and 9 EMS personnel perished attempting to save the lives of the occupants of the towers. Representing the McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department were Interim Chief Ray Salas, Lt. Jonathan Dominguez, and Lt. Stephen Talavera.
McQueeney Elementary held Field Days on Thursday, May 11th and Friday May 12th. The students were allowed to participate in a number of fun outdoor activities, and treated to snow cones. The McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department was on site with several of their vehicles including their ladder truck. Students were “cooled down” with spray from the trucks and hoses.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of retired Assistant Chief Charles “Chuck” Hoagland, of the McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department. Chuck, as he was known to his family, friends, and neighboring volunteer fire departments, began his firefighter/EMT career with the McQueeney VFD on December 10, 1980 after serving in the Navy for 8 years and retiring as a Lieutenant.
