When the tone sounds,
we go.
Twenty-six neighbors. Thirteen apparatus. One station on Highway 473. We answer fires, wrecks, floods, and whatever else the Guadalupe sends our way.
From horse-drawn to high-clearance.
Neighbors protecting
neighbors since 1912.
On October 3, 1912, a handful of Comfort citizens founded this department with no trucks, no station, and no budget — only a shared belief that neighbors look after neighbors.
Today, 26 volunteers respond from one station at 224 W Highway 473 with thirteen apparatus covering wildland, structure, vehicle, and water rescue across Kendall and Kerr County.
On July 4th, 2025, the Guadalupe River flooded catastrophically. CVFD's siren sounded. Comfort lost no one.

26 volunteers. One station.
Zero tax dollars.
Every truck, every set of gear, every training course comes from this community. The county covers part of it. The rest is on you.
One of our apparatus was recently struck and damaged. Repairs don't come cheap and they don't come from a county budget. We've set a goal of $25,000 to help cover the cost and get that unit back in service. Help us get there.
