About us

Emergency Services are provided by volunteers and paid staff operating together as a combination department under the leadership of a single senior leadership team. The paid staff works directly for Brazos County ESD No. 1 FD and the volunteers are members of the South Brazos County Fire Department. Currently, ESD 1 staffs 1 station 24/7 with 3 personnel, and our volunteers are an integral part of our response plan regardless of staffing status or time of day.

The South Brazos County Fire Department is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Members respond to emergencies and provide fire prevention and education services throughout the District and with our mutual aid partners. Meetings are held at Station 1, 14841 S Dowling Road in Wellborn on Tuesday nights beginning at 6:00 pm. Volunteer members must live within SBCFD's service area or within 3 miles of a SBCFD fire station. For more information about joining the SBCFD, click here.
