the Kingsville Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1909, and still serves this predominantly ranching community today, in conjunction with the full-time, professional, City of Kingsville Fire Department.

From the city's website: (visit link)

"Since 1909, the Kingsville Volunteer Fire Department has been serving the greater Kingsville area with protection during fire and rescue emergencies as well and educating the public about fire prevention. Our mission is to provide a safe, professional and courteous team that strives to exceed the expectations of our community and our organization.

The men and women who keep our department running do so with a sense of honor and purpose. Our team of volunteer firefighters risk their lives routinely to serve the city with dedication, pride, diligence and efficiency. By working aggressively and proactively as a team, we pride ourselves in our efforts to make our community a safer place to live.

Our Volunteer Fire Department is headed by:
