This Saturday (October 8, 2011) from 11a-6p is the annual Kyle Fire Department Fish Fry. get info/directions at http://www.kylefire.com

$8 per ticket (kids 12 and under eat free)
There will also be a Silent Auction, Bake Sale and Blood Drive

Hope you can make it... because they make fried catfish.... and they make it awesome.

This is a shot I got from last year.

Kyle, Texas is such a cool place to live. Take this for example. The Kyle Fire Department spends the week or two before Christmas driving Santa Claus all over the city, winding through neighborhoods.

Last night, Santa came by our house.

It's a great memory. Thanks Kyle Fire Department!

They've even created a Facebook Page so people can share their photos and videos.. and to let folks know where Santa has been spotted.

Perched atop a Kyle Fire Truck is Santa!

The kids wave to Santa

I caught Kerry Urbanowicz (Director of the Kyle Parks and Rec Dept.) getting a refill on his fried catfish at the annual Kyle Fire Department's Fish Fry on 10/09/10. I really can't blame him, I look forward to their fish fry every year. It's pretty much the only time I enjoy catfish.

Oh.. and letting the kids climb around the Fire Trucks (which I had to climb inside to... you know.. for the kids) was awesome too.

This is the front grill of one of the Fire Engines of the Kyle Fire Department. Almost as snazzy as their new building.



Below you'll see my shots from the Grand Opening of The Miller-Whitaker Fire Station #1. As a bonus there's a few shots of the The Blood and Tissue Center of Central Texas Blood mobile and me giving blood. :)

The NEW Fire Department.

There's going to be a new fire station in Kyle. This thing is a monster. It's going to be called "Station #1." I swear.. I don't know who comes up with those awesome names. But, I'm really glad it's happening. We are a big enough city to have this... and we're getting it. Yahoo.

Some history:
The Kyle Fire Department was formed, soon after the town of Kyle itself, in 1880. The membership of the department was divided up into three companies, a Hook and Ladder Company, a Bucket Brigade Company, and a Hose Company.
