BUFFALO GAP, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – The Buffalo Gap Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) is getting ready to host its inaugural Walk/Run or Cycle fundraiser, which it hopes to continue annually. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards purchasing a pumper truck for the VFD.
To help kick off Fire Prevention Month, which is observed every October since 1922, the Buffalo Gap VFD will be hosting a fundraiser open to adults and children. At the fundraiser, you may choose to walk, run cycle, or simply donate and enjoy the dunk tank, face painting, bouncy house and more.
