The fire department operates out of its main fire station located at 550 Kiowa Drive West. Due to local agreements, this location has the unique ability to respond to emergency calls inside of Lake Kiowa, as well as the rural areas of our district utilizing CR 224.

 

The fire district is approximately 62 square miles (39,680 acres) of residential, agricultural, recreational, and wooded properties encompassing approximately 4,000 residents.

 

Our Fire Department number of volunteers ranges from 15-19 volunteer firefighters/EMTs/paramedics. The Board of Directors consists of five, fire district elected members. There are five fire department officers, consisting of, Fire Chief, Asst. Fire Chief, Captain, and two Lieutenants.

 

As with most other volunteer fire departments, most of our budget is funded through donations and fund raisers. We routinely apply for federal and state grants, and when awarded, those funds help to purchase additional apparatus and equipment as requested in the grant. ICVFD does receive a stipend from Cooke County. We attempt to have at least two major fund raisers annually With the combination of all these factors we are able to provide professional, high quality service to the residents of the Indian Creek Volunteer Fire Department Fire District.
