Austin Vol. Fire & Rescue

Austin Fire & Rescue held our annual Firefighter Christmas Dinner tonight. Each October, as part of our annual meeting, the firefighters vote for Firefighter of the Year, Medical Responder/EMT of the Year and a special award in remembrance of two of the most dedicated members we have ever had, the David and Lisa Royal Service Award.

Congratulations to Firefighter of the Year and the 2025 recipient of the David & Lisa Service Award, Chief Brian Cothren.

Congratulations to Training Officer Greg Peak, 2025 Medical Responder of the Year.

A big thank you to all of our members and their families for the sacrifices all of them make each and every year. From training to responding to calls for the betterment of the community, we’re proud of all the time and effort each one of them puts in every single day.

We wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas and a wonderful prosperous New Year!

After many requests, we will have Chicken on October 25th. Hope to see everyone there!
