 There was a blaze of community spirit for the grand opening of Fire Station #15 on Thursday, March 20. Residents, city officials, and proud firefighters came together for the dedication of the state-of-the-art facility at 10905 Panther Way (near the Ritchie Road water tower).
Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the crowd was treated to a traditional fire engine push-in ceremony. This time-honored tradition symbolizes the official placement of the engine into its new home. Adding to the festivities, Sparky the Fire Dog made an appearance, and attendees had the opportunity to tour the new fire station.
 On Monday, March 24, Robby Bergerson was sworn in as the Interim Waco Fire Chief. Chief Bergerson began his career as a firefighter in the Austin area in 1993 before joining the Waco Fire Department in 1997. He most recently served as Executive Deputy Chief for Waco Fire. His leadership has been instrumental in implementing many changes in the department, and he was an integral part of the team achieving the Insurance Services Office Class 1 rating. Join us in welcoming Interim Fire Chief Bergerson!

 When most pets get lost, they don’t stray far from home. With the Fire House to Your House program, firefighters can help you reunite lost pets with their owner at any Waco fire station.
How it Works
- Locate your nearest fire station using the My Area map on the City of Waco website.
- Take the animal to the fire station to be scanned and see if a microchip is found. (Have patience if firefighters are not at the station. Calls for emergency services do come first.)
- If a chip is found, firefighters will give you instructions on how to find the owner with the microchip number.
