HCESD 48 is a full service 24/7 combination fire department that provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, emergency management, fire prevention, and fire and life safety education to the citizens of Emergency Services District #48.

Our Training Division is lead by Battalion Chief Glen Trahan who has been instrumental in enhancing our training programs for our fire and ems personnel.  We are very proud to be a SFFMA and TCFP training facility and to host our own internal fire academy for volunteers entering our new cadet training program.  In addition to internal training we also host training opportunities at our facilities for neighboring fire departments in the region.

Our Community Team leader and Public Information Officer is Division Chief Jason Tharp.  If you are looking for a great place to work, volunteer or train we would love to talk to you.  Please contact us by email @ communityteam@hcesd48.org or by calling our non-emergency number 281-599-8888.
