Who we are

A volunteer department with a full-time commitment

Elm Mott Fire Rescue, Station 36, is a volunteer department that responds to structure fires, grass and vegetation fires, motor-vehicle accidents along Interstate 35, and medical emergencies across roughly 40 square miles of McLennan County.

Every dollar donated and every volunteer hour goes directly toward equipment, training, and readiness — keeping our two stations prepared to roll the moment a call comes in.

More than a department

A crew that shows up — for the call and for each other

Behind every engine that rolls out is a group of neighbors who train hard, laugh harder, and have each other's backs. From certification nights to grueling live-burn evolutions, this is a tight-knit crew that takes the work seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

When you support Station 36, you're backing real people from right here in the community — the folks who answer when you need them most.
