Fire department says no need for alarm

by | May 9, 2024 | Latest

The Farmersville Fire Department has been without its two major pieces of firefighting equipment.

Residents, though, shouldn’t worry about whether the city’s emergency response capability has been compromised, according to Fire Chief Gregg Massey. The fire department’s two trucks have been sidelined with routine repairs. The city did get one of the trucks back, but then had to return it to the shop when “other problems cropped up,” according to City Manager Ben White. “We are quite embarrassed,” he said of the fire engine vehicle that had to be returned.
