Do you know what you can do to make your home more defensible?  

We encourage all residents of our district to participate in the home survey.  Click here for the home assessment form.  If you have checked several of the questions on the survey, we encourage you to contact the Fire Department for a thorough review of your property. You can call us during business hours at 512-327-9405 ext 20.  We will be happy to come to your residence and assist you in making a thorough assessment of your home.
