Please consider joining the
Lowry Crossing Volunteer Fire Department ! 

The Lowry Crossing Fire Department is a 100% volunteer organization that is always looking for people who are willing to donate their time to help out their community. We respond to fires, vehicle accidents and medical emergencies. If you are considering joining, please feel free to give us a call so we can show you around the station and explain what we do. 

People who are able to respond during the daytime and people with ECA or EMT medical training are of particular value to the department. 

Why Volunteer?
Gain a sense of achievement and know the reward of helping to bring an emergency situation under control. Learn the skills necessary to protect yourself and your family in an emergency situation and become a member of a community action team. Your fire department is willing to train you for firefighting, emergency first aid, apparatus operation and more. All equipment and training will be provided at no cost to you.

Requirements:
You must be at least 18 years of age, have a valid driver’s license and be able to pass a background check. You must be available to attend monthly meetings, training sessions and other department activities. A CPR and basic first aid class will have to be completed, and at some point, you will need to attend the McKinney CCCC fire academy to obtain the 72 hours of firefighting training required to fight live fires. Additional training is also available at no cost to the member.

If you are a committed individual and interested in becoming a part of our team,
please contact Joel Schmieg at (972) 548-7163.

Thanks for wanting to help your community !
