BVFD’s New Water Storage Tank Revealed

We’re proud to announce the completion of our new 30,000-gallon water storage tank installation project at the Belmont Volunteer Fire Department. This project was possible thanks to the support of our community and the generous Power-Up Grant from GVEC! 👨‍🚒

This new tank replaces the smaller aging and leaking tank we had been using for many years, and it also includes a powerful new 500 GPM pump to help refill our trucks quickly and efficiently. It’s a major step forward in improving fire suppression capabilities across the western portion of Gonzales County. 🚒

We extend our deepest thanks to the following partners for making this possible:

• Precinct 3 Commissioner
• Roy Staton and Crew – for expert pad and drainage work
• Gonzales County ESD #2 – for ongoing support
• Joey Carizales – for hauling rock and sand
• Harding Pump & Supply – for donating fittings for the new pump
• BNM Electric, LLC – for getting everything powered up and online

A special thank-you to GVEC for awarding us the Power-Up Grant that made this possible. And a big shout-out to Chief Schauer and Captain Burkhart for their dedication and leadership throughout this project.

We’re grateful for every helping hand. This is what true community can accomplish! 💪
