The benefit of being part of a small town is the close-knit relationship formed between the citizens and the first responders who care for them. We find events such as the annual 4th of July Parade and Picnic as well as the Santa Meet and Greet, are wonderful ways for us to connect with our residents.
Parade:
Parade starts at 9:30am, line-up at 8:30, at the corner of Simmons and the north entrance of The Oaks. Parade with course down Cross Timbers Drive ending at John B Wright Park.
Picnic from 10-2. We'll have all the stuff you need for a good picnic – food, drinks, music by Triple Lindy, water slide, bounce houses, and a silent auction.
We can always use donations for the silent auction and/or the event and volunteers! Contact Chief Heimerdinger at chief552@dovfd.org.
Picnic:
10:00-2:00 at John B. Wright Park
Silent Auction/Donations
All those who donate will be acknowledged both on our webpage at www.DOVFD.org and on a banner at the event. Allocations are as follows: $1,000+ Chief, $500-$999 – Captain, $250-$499 – Lieutenant, $100-$249 Firefighter and below $100 – Rookie. Additionally, those who provide cash donations (sponsorship) will be recognized via signs on the event grounds. We would appreciate any assistance your company could provide. For more information please contact Chief Heimerdinger at Chief552@dovfd.org.

Double Oak is going to have a VIP guest this holiday season! On Sunday, December 10, 2023, Santa will be in town cruising the streets of Double Oak beginning at 12pm. Our firefighters will be escorting him through every neighborhood on a fire engine as he wishes the young and young at heart a very Merry Christmas and happy holiday season. When he gets close to your house, you'll see the lights and hear the sirens so make sure to come outside, meet and get a picture with Santa and tell him what you would like for Christmas.
