Fire Department
The City of Dalhart is served by a 35 member volunteer Fire Department.
The Fire station and apparatus's are maintained by the City of Dalhart under the supervision of Fire Marshal Curtis Brown.
The fire department was founded in 1903 and is currently composed of 35 volunteer members. The department is a member of the State Firefighters & Fire Marshals Association of Texas. To maintain a membership within the department, each member must maintain a certain percentage of calls, drills and meeting attendance each year to stay on the department. The department is also a member of the Panhandle Firefighters & Fire Marshals Association. The DVFD provides all emergency needs for the city and surrounding area, as well provides mutual aid assistance to all neighboring community's.
The city paid staff for the fire department consists of the City Fire Marshal and a mechanic that maintains all the equipment and facility.
For your own safety we encourage you to have your house number displayed near your entrance door. Emergency responders, such as EMS, PD or Fire department need to identify your address quickly and a number painted on the driveway is difficult to see in the dark and not considered effective by emergency responders. We also encourage you to have your number displayed in the alley by your gate for utility maintenance.
