Borger Gains National Recognition as Firewise City
The City of Borger received designation as a Firewise Community Tuesday afternoon at the regular meeting of the Borger City Council. After nearly four years of work, the City of Borger has been named the nation’s first Firewise City. The Texas Forest Service honored the City of Borger yesterday at the Borger City Council meeting for their accomplishment.

Borger Fire Department Fire Chief Bob Watson said "the honor is a culmination of nearly four years of work by a large number of agencies." He told the council that everyone involved in the program has generously given a lot of hours of hard work to make it possible. The wildfires in 2006 were a wakeup call... Jan Amen with the Texas Forest Service says, “That particular week we burned almost a million acres in the Panhandle.” Borger Fire Chief Bob Watson says, “It changed our whole aspect as firefighters at least in our city as how we look at it, how we approach it, how we study it, and how we think about it, as well as how we attack a fire.”
Part of that new way to attack wildfires is to become a Firewise city. The Firewise program focuses on what residents can do to make their homes less susceptible to wildfires. Also as part of the program, the City itself, will conduct controlled burns, in and around the city specifically targeting potentially high risk areas to eliminate dry brush and trees that often fuel fires. For additional information or to schedule a presentation on the Firewise Program for a group or event, please contact the Borger Fire Department at 806-273-0950.
