Granbury Fire Marshal and Battalion Chief Kevin Jones has been certified as a master firefighter, one of fewer than 550 in Texas to hold the elite credential.

Jones has served with the Granbury Volunteer Fire Department for 37 years, responding to thousands of emergency calls. For the past 26 years, he has also served as the city’s fire marshal, focusing on fire prevention and public safety.“I find it rewarding to help others,” Jones said.Jones regularly teaches at the Hood County Fire Academy and has spent the past 17 years instructing firefighters from across the state through Texas A&M University. He said young people interested in the fire service should “ask a lot of questions, learn all you can, and be careful doing it.”The master firefighter certification, awarded by the State Firefighters’ and Fire Marshals’ Association of Texas (SFFMA), requires candidates to hold Firefighter II certification, complete at least 400 hours of additional training in five fire service categories, and have a minimum of 10 years of experience.The Granbury Volunteer Fire Department has emphasized advanced training in recent years. In 2024, the department raised its standards for firefighters earning a black helmet — which signifies full membership — requiring completion of the Hood County Fire Academy, Firefighter I certification exams, six months of service, and approval by department members.

Six GVFD officers currently hold the designation. ... See MoreSee Less
