Hutto plans for separate fire service efforts

Williamson County ESD No. 3, established in 2000, covers 63 square miles, including the city of Hutto and areas outside of Hutto city limits. Leaders with the emergency services district expressed some concerns over the decision, stating in a press release that “the district does not understand the decision to create a duplicate fire protection system alongside” its existing service. Snyder said he does not believe the efforts are redun- dant because there is no fire station in the area where they plan to build, with the nearest one being 4 miles away. “You could make the argument that we’re all working for the people to make them the safest and to provide fire service,” Snyder said. “My hope is that the ESD helps us establish our fire department because we’re all supposed to be working together for the citizens of Hutto.”

Hutto City Council is moving forward with efforts to create a city-owned fire department. In a joint meeting between City Council and the Hutto Economic Development Corporation on May 26, council approved a land purchase, engineering and land survey contract, and design contract for Hutto Fire Station No. 1. After Williamson County Emergency Services District No. 3 had previously declined the HEDC’s land offer for a fire station, the city and HEDC chose to move forward independently, according to a news release. Mayor Mike Snyder cited the city’s rapid growth for the decision to move forward with establishing its own fire department. “It’s just a natural progression. Cities get bigger and can take that on,” Snyder said. “I think the feeling is that we’re at a point, and we’ve grown big enough that we can handle that department.”

In the release, WCESD No. 3 leaders said their focus remains on the safety of the community. “Our firefighters, command staff and leadership team care deeply about this community,” Todd Robison, president of the WCESD No. 3 Board of Commissioners, stated in the press release. “We are constantly planning ahead to make sure Hutto families and businesses continue receiving the high level of service they deserve as this community grows.”

No firm timeline for the new fire station is in place, but Snyder said the design process should take around three months. No cost estimate for the fire station has been determined, although Snyder said at the May 26 meeting that city will “have to spend some money to understand [the] cost of construction.” City staff also told officials at the joint meeting that property at the Megasite could be used for the new fire station or, after a review, for another purpose.
