If you live within Travis County but outside of the City of Austin east of I-35 and south of the Colorado River, we provide fire and EMS first response to you.

Being a combination department means that we staff our stations with paid and non-paid fire and EMS personnel and have an open membership regardless of where you live.

Travis County Fire Rescue currently has 2 fill time fire stations staffed 24 hours a day, running about 2,200 emergency incidents per year.

In January 2006, the department launched a new program to train fire fighters to provide advanced levels of EMS care. With the first class of EMT – Intermediates scheduled to complete initial training in February 2007 they will immediately begin their Travis County EMS clearance process and are projected to begin providing advanced care in the field in mid-2007.

The fire fighters both paid and non-paid are constantly training on structural fire fighting, technical rescue and emergency care of the sick and injured to name a few. If you are interested in being a fire fighter drop by or call us to learn more.
