Frequently Asked Questions

Why do your fire trucks use lights and sirens, even in the middle of the night when there is no traffic?

The purpose of emergency warning equipment is to let drivers and pedestrians know that an emergency vehicle is on the way to an emergency. Texas state law as well as our standard operating procedures require that our drivers utilize emergency warning equipment during emergency response regardless of the time of day. We also encourage our drivers to use good judgment in determining whether emergency response is necessary in an effort to limit any inconvenience to the public.
