Cove Fire And Rescue

One warm summer night a group of volunteers met in the old Cove
Community Building to form an organization to provide safety and security to
their families and neighbors. Starting out with an old broken down fire truck,
purchased from neighboring Mont Belvieu for $1.00; that had to be towed
back to Cove and continuing with untold hours of volunteer labor that
included staying up all night cooking for fund raisers as well as working on
that old truck and others that have followed. A special comradery has evolved
that only comes from working for the common good.

Through it all, the Cove Volunteer Fire Department has maintained the high
standards and volunteer spirit that has always made Cove, Texas a very
special place to live. We salute those first volunteers those founders whose
selfless dedication has given Cove's Firefighters of today and those of the
future a shining example to follow. As long as people like these exist
communities such as ours will enjoy that special kind of security that can
only come when people truly care about each other.
