SAN BENITO FIREMEN RELIEF & RETIREMENT FUND

In 1936, the Citizens of San Benito united to form the San Benito Volunteer Fire Department in order to protect the rapidly growing City and its population. By the 1990's, it became evident that a Volunteer Department was no longer adequate to provide protection to the approximately 20,000 citizens, their homes, and businesses; and made the transition to a Career Fire Department. The San Benito Firemen Relief & Retirement Fund was established January 1, 1990 under The Texas Local Fire fighters' Retirement Act (TLFFRA)... The San Benito Firemen Relief Retirement Fund currently has 26 dedicated participants. They respond to approximately 2,500 fire calls per year, and they strive to meet the needs of their community 100 percent.
