Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department is a combination fire department serving the unincorporated Cypress-Fairbanks area of Harris County, Texas, United States. Cy-Fair VFD serves over 350,000 people over a 160-square-mile (410 km²) area and responds to more than 16,000 incidents each year. With over 500 members and 12 stations, Cy-Fair VFD is the one of the largest volunteer fire departments in North America.

Cy-Fair VFD utilizes both volunteers and paid crews. During the standard work week and work day, one station from each of the three districts, two heavy-rescue trucks, and one ladder truck is manned with a paid staff in order to provide a timelier response. Cy-Fair's ambulances are manned with a paid staff 24 hours a day, year-round.
