About the South Brazos County Fire Department
The South Brazos County Fire Department is an all-volunteer department that provides fire, rescue, and first responder emergency medical services for the residents and visitors in the 144-square mile service area south of the city of College Station all the way to the county line at the Navasota and Brazos rivers.
Supplemented by the paid crews of Brazos County ESD 1, our volunteers respond from four fire stations located throughout the district to over 1,000 emergencies each year.
Call volume continues to rise
Call volume is projected to be up over 20% from last year, and 39% higher than in 2024, mostly for medical emergencies.
We are growing to serve you
More stations with paid, around-the-clock staffing means faster response times with a crew of skilled firefighter/EMTs.
“ This expansion is a key part of our long range plans to ensure the safety of residents and visitors in our community,” said Fire Chief David Cooper. “Skill plus speed saves lives.”
Announcing new Station 6
Located at 11770 Walnut Road, this station opened November 17, and adds a second paid crew 24/7, reduces response times, and improves coverage in the northern part of the District.
Sta 1/Admin building update
Located at 6055 Koppe Bridge. Groundbreaking for the new Fire Station 1 and admin building was a great success. The new complex will be over 15,000 sf, with offices, living spaces, and four apparatus bays. Site work began Nov 3; completion is scheduled for late 2026.
Announcing new Station 4
Station 4 is expanding and moving to a new location just south of the current location on Hwy 6 S. The new station will be about 6,500 sf, with living spaces and three apparatus bays. Completion is scheduled for early 2027.
