Watch this department to be notified when Eastex Freeway Volunteer Fire Department (Harris County Esd #10) is hiring.
HCESD-10 was established in 1986 as a political subdivision of the State of Texas under the Texas Health and Safety Code, giving it stable property-tax funding to support fire protection in unincorporated northeast Harris County. The district describes itself as a fully funded fire protection district, operating four fire stations from its administrative headquarters on Old Humble Road, and states it does not provide EMS or ambulance services, which are handled by separate agencies.
The department's core service lines are fire suppression, fire prevention, rescue operations, hazard mitigation, and disaster response. Its crews handle residential, commercial, vehicle, wildland, and electrical/chemical fires, and its rescue division performs vehicle extrication, search and rescue, confined-space and high-angle rescue, and swift-water rescue, citing local flood risk and busy corridors like Beltway 8 and FM 1960. On the prevention side, HCESD-10 runs school and business fire-safety education, a smoke-alarm distribution program, and public outreach events, and it coordinates with county emergency-management partners on hurricane, flooding, and hazardous-material response.
The district is governed by an elected Board of Commissioners rather than a single fire chief listed on the website, and is funded through local property taxes rather than user fees.
MissionOur mission is to safeguard lives, property, and businesses through rapid response, strategic planning, and continuous training.
