Bill > HR186

This resolution honors the Westlake Fire Department on its 50th anniversary, recognizing its remarkable journey from a small volunteer organization founded in 1975 with fewer than 20 members to a robust emergency services provider. Now primarily funded by Harris County Emergency Services District No. 47, the department serves approximately 100,000 people across a 10-square-mile area in western Harris County, staffed by over 150 volunteers and employees. The resolution highlights the department's impressive capabilities, including a fleet of multiple emergency vehicles, an average five-minute response time, and a top-tier Insurance Services Office Public Protection Classification rating of 2, which places them among the top two percent of fire departments nationally. The Texas House of Representatives officially commends the Westlake Fire Department for its exceptional half-century of service, extending sincere best wishes for continued success and ordering an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for the department as an expression of high regard.
