Our apparatus lineup features one small rescue (R15), one quick attack (A15), and one class A pumper (E15), all of which allow CCVFD to provide medical first responders, fire suppression, and vehicle extrication (JAWS). Crims Chapel is one of fourteen volunteer fire departments serving the citizens of Rusk County, which is located in East Texas. Partial funding is provided by the Rusk County ESD 1 which provides an annual income of $10,000. All additional monies come from fund raising efforts by the members, generous donations, and state/federal grant programs.
