Service Opportunities
2025 - 2026 Service Project
Last Alarm Fire Company
Mission:
Proudly honoring the service, sacrifice and selflessness of our fallen brothers and sisters.
Why Last Alarm
Several fire departments in the Texas Panhandle are lacking the necessary equipment to transport a deceased firefighter to their final resting place. Consequently, these departments may be compelled to abandon their communities without adequate fire protection.
Background
In 2023, while in the presence of a fellow firefighter diagnosed with a terminal illness, five individuals conceived the idea of acquiring a fire truck capable of transporting a casket during a firefighter’s funeral. This endeavor led us to Torrance, California, where we
purchased a 1949 Mack fire truck with the intention of refurbishing it specifically for this purpose.
Fund Raising Goals
The primary objective of these organizations is to restore the 1949 fire truck to its operational capacity, thereby serving the 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle. Upon it's operational status the Last Alarm Honor Guard will be established. This Honor Guard will comprise both paid and volunteer firefighters from various regions of the Panhandle. Members will display the Last Alarm patch on one sleeve and their department patch on the other. The organization will provide comprehensive support to any firefighter who sacrifices
their life during active service.
How Will My Donations Help
Donations will be utilized to restore the fire apparatus, establish an honor guard, and provide maintenance and transportation of the apparatus.
Other service opportunities include:
