Deerhaven gets fire contract, but firefighters call for more hydrants

DEERHAVEN — A neighboring fire department will continue to protect Deerhaven, but officials are urging the passage by voters Nov. 6 of a $1.2 million bond issue to add more fire hydrants.

The seven fire hydrants in Deerhaven aren’t enough, said Horseshoe Bay Fire Chief Jim Fiero. The Horseshoe Bay City Council recently approved extending the life of a fire protection contract for Deerhaven.
