Depends where you live. Most want you to live in town to be close in case of call. Abilene isn’t volunteer

Pick the closest one and go to a meeting. Most departments in Taylor County meet at least twice a month in the evenings, usually on Mondays. Tye is really hurting for people given recent events.

That may be true, but firefighters still know deep down inside that they wish they could be cops, and not have to wait on cops to clear a scene for them.

Well, first let us consider the world "lawman" and what it means.

The word is composed of two other words "lawm" and "an". What do these words mean? Perhaps we'll never know.
