Travis County ESD 1 Fire Department
Travis County Emergency Services District 1 is located in northwest Travis County, Texas. The district encompasses 178 square miles of the beautiful Texas Hill Country, making it the largest ESD in Travis County. The boundaries span from the Burnet County line (west) to the Williamson County line (east) and the district's souther border is Lake Travis.
Travis County ESD 1 provides fire protection, rescue, and emergency medical services for the cities of Lago Vista, Jonestown, Point Venture and large unincorporated areas of Travis County. Travis County ESD 1 maintains and operates seven fire stations, which are manned twenty-four hours a day with three personnel who cross staff engines, brush trucks and rescue squads. Included in the operations are six engines, two quints, one ladder, six brush trucks, one tender, one heavy rescue, two boats and one fire rescue UTV.
The area protected by Travis County ESD 1 is a favorite boating, fishing, and recreational lake for thousands of tourists. In the northern portion of our district are ranches, farms, small communities and a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Preserve. Much of the hill country is a haven for white tail deer, dove, hog, and turkey hunters. The wildlife preserve is a refuge for the Black Capped Vireo and the Golden-Cheeked Warbler (two endangered bird species), making it a favorite for bird watchers.
