Overview
Mission
The primary purpose of the organization is provide fire protection and emergency services to the community of Hebbronville and Jim Hogg County.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Hebbronville Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1930 and provides fire protection to the Community of Hebbronville and County of Jim Hogg which total 4800 plus citizens. This year of 2024 has been the best for donations as many ranchers have benefited from the service provided by the department. Brush fires burn many acres and buildings and our firefighters are always ready to respond. The expense that these services provide is immense when lives are at stake. Fire fighters put their lives on the line everytime they respond to a fire.
