Zapata County Fire Department encourages all senior citizens of Zapata County to get the vial of life. This guides any EMS personnel to the Patient's medical History leading to better patient care en-route to facility.  We encourage this for our senior citizens since our nearest higher medical facility is more than 50 miles away.  Please take time and come by the fire station to pick one up today. You can also contact us using the "contact us" portion of this website. Thanks!
