For generations, the Selden Volunteer Fire Department has stood watch over Erath County — responding to emergencies, preventing disasters, and safeguarding the communities we call home.
The Selden Volunteer Fire Department serves a wide expanse of Erath County, where response times can be long and conditions unpredictable. Our team of dedicated volunteers answers that call every day — from structure fires and vehicle accidents to medical emergencies and natural disaster relief.
Based at 2612 FM-913 in Stephenville, we are neighbors first and firefighters second. We understand the unique challenges of rural emergency response, and we invest in the training, equipment, and readiness that our community deserves.
From wildland fires to structure calls, our trained volunteers provide round-the-clock protection for homes, businesses, and families across Erath County.
Full-scope structural fire suppression for residential and commercial buildings, including interior attack, ventilation, and overhaul operations.
First-response medical care by certified volunteers while awaiting advanced life support, providing critical intervention in the golden hour.
Proactive fire code enforcement, building inspections, and public education programs to reduce risk before an emergency occurs.
Specialized training and equipment for wildland and grassfire suppression across the open rangeland and brush country of Erath County.
Extrication and roadside emergency response on rural highways and FM roads, with specialized tools for vehicle entrapment situations.
Fire safety workshops, school visits, and community drills that empower residents — especially children and seniors — with life-saving knowledge.
The Selden VFD is deeply rooted in the fabric of Erath County. Our volunteers don't just respond to calls — they attend school board meetings, sponsor youth programs, and stand side by side with the communities they protect.
