West Harrison Volunteer Fire Department serves the western Harrison County, along US Hwy 80, I-20, Loop 281, and also FM 449 north to Little Cypress Creek
The West Harrison Volunteer Fire Department is nestled deep in the heart of Northeast Texas, between Longview and Hallsville. Our department is served by Emergency Services District #1 in Harrison County, and ultimately by the taxpayers that reside in this district. Once two small organizations, Gum Springs Volunteer Fire Department and Macedonia Volunteer Fire Department, they were combined in 2002 forming the West Harrison Volunteer Fire Department.
Since then, we have almost entirely updated our fleet of vehicles and all equipment, acquired a new station, and a part time staff of 10 that serves the maintenance needs during the work week. All of this ultimately helps to save the lives, protect the property, and lower the insurance premiums of every resident in our area. We welcome anyone to come by or contact us for more information.
We hold regular business meeting on the 1st Monday of every month at our station #2 located on Lois Dr off of Smelley Rd. We also hold training meeting at the same location on the 3rd Monday of each month (sometimes changes due to type of training).
Our 3 stations are located at:
Station 1
