FAQ
Why is a fire engine sent when I call for an ambulance?
Fire Engine and Ladder trucks are staffed with firefighters who are dual-trained as Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics, and all fire apparatus carry basic life support equipment, including Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) and some medications. When we receive a call, the closest Engine or Ladder Company is dispatched to initiate care. Williamson County EMS dispatches their closest ambulance.

The fire department's strategically placed fire stations normally allow fire apparatus to arrive prior to the ambulance.

Smoke Detectors?
The Georgetown Fire Department is offering free smoke alarms to residents who do not have them in their homes. The “Smoke Alarms in Every Home!” campaign is made possible by Wayne Wright Lawyers, a Texas law firm that made a charitable donation of 5,000 smoke alarms to fire departments in Williamson County. The campaign by Wayne Wright Lawyers was launched after nine people in San Antonio perished from fires in 2006 in homes that were not equipped with smoke alarms.
A working smoke alarm can be a critical life-saving device in the case of fire. According to a study by Johns Hopkins University funded by the United States Fire Administration, 75 percent of residential fire deaths and 84 percent of residential fire injuries could have been prevented by smoke detectors.
If you live in Georgetown and would like to request installation of free smoke alarms for your home, call the Georgetown Fire Department at (512) 930-3473. Monday - Friday 8:00am - 12:00, 1:00pm - 5:00pm or email at fire@georgetowntx.org.
