Emergency contact information system

The Fire Department’s primary activity is to provide the emergency services required to meet the demands of a growing population. There is a constant, deliberate effort to provide our customers with the most current knowledge, methodology, and technology available in both fire suppression and fire prevention. Attention is also given to the maintenance of all fire apparatus and peripheral equipment such as fire hydrants so that all tools will function properly when needed.

Fire Chief Larry Hodge is responsible for the overall management and strategic planning. Personnel in the Chief's office are the Assistant Fire Chief, Administrative Battalion Chief, Office Manager, Administration Manager, Administrative Technician II and Information Technology Specialist. This division is responsible for professional development, payroll, scheduling tours, demonstrations, and information technology and software support. This division is also involved with all City departments and is responsible for coordinating any functions or services with surrounding communities.

Fire Suppression: Seven fire stations are primarily responsible for fire suppression for all structural, vehicle, grass, dumpster, and other fires within the City of Round Rock.  The stations also provide fire suppression to other communities surrounding the City of Round Rock and standby during repairs of ruptured gas lines when required. In addition, it is the responsibility of the station’s suppression personnel to provide medical assistance at private residences, businesses, special events, and vehicle accidents, both emergency and non-emergency in nature. Fire suppression personnel also respond to vehicle accident entrapment, water rescues, high/low angle rescues, vehicle unlock services when a child or pet or medication is involved, body recoveries and disasters. There are three shifts and each station is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At a minimum, there is a Lieutenant, Driver and Firefighter on duty at each station, with a Battalion Chief on duty at Central. Additional personnel, including a Captain, Lieutenant, Driver and Firefighter are based at Central and staff the aerial platform truck.

Fire Prevention: The Fire Prevention Division is responsible for public education, fire safety inspections, fire and arson investigations and emergency management. The City’s emergency management program ensures the City has the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to emergencies, regardless of type.  By ordinance, the City’s Fire Marshal has been appointed to serve as the Coordinator of the program.
