Last night, 12 volunteer members came together for hands-on extrication training, putting in the work to sharpen the skills that matter most when seconds count.

Training like this is where confidence is built, teamwork is strengthened, and experience is gained. It’s not just about learning the tools and techniques. It’s about being prepared to step into real-world emergencies and perform under pressure.

Over the last few weeks, we have responded to multiple vehicle accidents and wildfires across the area. While emergency calls often receive the spotlight, there is a tremendous amount of work that happens behind the scenes. After the calls are answered, our volunteers spend countless hours maintaining trucks, checking equipment, restocking supplies, and making sure everything is ready for the next emergency. Their dedication does not end when the sirens are silent. The work they put in between calls helps ensure our department can respond quickly and effectively when our community needs us most.

We are also excited to welcome three new firefighters to the Groom VFD family. Please join us in welcoming Kaegan Massey, Holt Pitzer, and Dylan Pohlmeier to the department. We are grateful for their willingness to step up and serve our community and look forward to watching them grow as members of our team.

To all of our volunteers, thank you for the time, effort, and sacrifices you make. Whether you are responding to calls at all hours, spending evenings maintaining equipment, or training to be prepared for the next emergency, your commitment does not go unnoticed.

🚨 ATTENTION GROOM RESIDENTS 🚨

We will be conducting an outdoor warning siren test this evening at 7:00 p.m.

This is only a test and is part of our commitment to ensuring our emergency notification system is operating properly. If weather conditions appear questionable or there is any potential for severe weather in the area, the test will be postponed to avoid confusion.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to help keep our community informed, prepared, and safe.

Yesterday, our department had the privilege of welcoming representatives from The 100 Club of the Texas Panhandle, who presented our department with a generous $10,000 donation.

The impact of this gift cannot be overstated. The 100 Club not only supports our department, but also volunteer and first responder agencies across the Texas Panhandle, providing critical assistance that helps departments continue serving their communities.

This year has been one of the busiest and most demanding seasons our department has faced. To put it into perspective, we have already responded to almost 69% of last year's total call volume. As call volumes continue to rise, support from organizations like The 100 Club makes a real difference. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity, their commitment to first responders, and their investment in the communities we serve.

If you're not familiar with The 100 Club of the Texas Panhandle, we encourage you to learn more about their mission, the work they do for first responders and their families, and how you can support their efforts. Their impact reaches far beyond any single department, and we are proud to be one of the many organizations they have helped.

Thank you, The 100 Club of the Texas Panhandle, for standing behind first responders across our region. Your support means more than words can express.

To the Men and Women of The Groom Volunteer Fire Department and Our Community,

Over the past several months, and especially throughout the last couple of weeks, we have seen just how demanding this job can be. Calls have come at all hours, conditions have been tough, and the workload has been heavier than usual. Through it all, the dedicated men and women of the GVFD have continued to answer every call with professionalism, courage, and commitment.

As Fire Chief, I want to personally commend every firefighter, responder, and volunteer who has given their time, energy, and sacrifice to serve this community. Whether it was responding to emergencies, supporting neighboring departments, training, maintaining equipment, or simply being ready when the tones drop, your hard work does not go unnoticed.

This department is built on teamwork, dedication, and pride in serving others. I could not be more proud of the effort each of you has shown during this busy season. Your willingness to put the community first, often ahead of your own needs and personal time, speaks volumes about the character of this department.

I also want to extend a sincere thank you to the Groom community for the continued support you show our department. From kind words and prayers to donations and encouragement, your support means more than you know. Small communities are strongest when everyone stands together, and we are fortunate to serve one that continually backs its first responders.

Please know that your efforts, sacrifices, and support are deeply appreciated. The past few months have tested us, but they have also shown the strength, resilience, and heart of this department and community.

Thank you all for everything you do each and every day.

Sincerely,
Mason Miller
Fire Chief
Groom Vol. Fire Department
