Williamson County Emergency Services District #4/Liberty Hill Fire Department

From the 1980's to the early 2000's the northern most section of Travis County located on the North Side of Lake Travis was served by 3 separate fire departments: Travis County ESD 1, (Lago Vista Fire Department) and Travis County ESD 7, (North Shore Fire and Rescue, located in Jonestown and the Emergency Services of Sandy Creek located off Nameless Road). North Shore and Sandy Creek were volunteer fire departments contracted by ESD 7 and Lago Vista Fire was a combination department. In 2003 North Shore and Sandy Creek were combined into one fire department under ESD 7 which became North Lake Travis Fire and Rescue. In 2005 an election was held to combine ESD 1 and ESD 7. This merger was the beginning of Travis County ESD 1, North Lake Travis Fire and Rescue North Lake Travis Fire and Rescue covers 178 sq. miles of Travis County from the Cedar Park City Limits on the east, to the Burnet County Line on the west and the Williamson County Line on the north. The southern boundary is Lake Travis where we are responsible for many miles of shoreline around the lake. There are seven fire stations. Three stations house paid staff 24/7 and the remaining four are manned with volunteers. North Lake Travis Fire and Rescue is a combination department. It began with 10 paid firefighters and a large volunteer staff. It has grown to a staff of 23 paid firefighters working 24 hr. shifts.
