What is an ESD?
An Emergency Services District (ESD) is a local government agency created by a vote of the public to provide fire protection and/or emergency medical services (EMS) in specific areas in unincorporated Harris County. The governing statute for an ESD is Chapter 775 of the Texas Health and Safety Code. An ESD collects taxes based on appraisals of real and personal property and usually contracts with a service provider. There are two types of ESDs: one is for fire protection and the other is for emergency medical services (EMS).

Protect Your Home From Wildfires
Preparation Today Can Help Reduce Risk Tomorrow
Wildfires can spread quickly and threaten homes, property, and surrounding communities with little warning. Taking proactive steps to prepare your home can help reduce fire hazards, improve safety for your family, and give emergency responders a better chance to protect your property during a wildfire event.
Creating a defensible space around your home is one of the most important ways to help slow the spread of fire. Keep grass trimmed, remove dry leaves and brush, and clear debris from gutters, roofs, porches, and decks. Trees and shrubs should be properly maintained and spaced away from structures whenever possible.
Every household should have an emergency preparedness plan in place before wildfire season begins. Prepare an emergency kit with important documents, medications, flashlights, batteries, water, and essential supplies. Make sure all family members know evacuation routes, emergency contacts, and where to go if evacuation orders are issued.
Simple wildfire preparedness steps can make a meaningful difference
in protecting lives, homes, and neighborhoods.
Staying informed, planning ahead, and reducing fire risks around your property
can help your family stay safer during wildfire emergencies.
