ESD No. 8 is one of eleven Districts formed to provide fire suppression and first responder services within set boundaries in the unincorporated areas of Bexar County. We do this by collecting property taxes of the citizens residing in the District. Those funds are then utilized to hire and pay firefighters to provide fire protection and first responder services to the residents of each area.
Bexar County Emergency Services District No. 8 is a political subdivision of the State of Texas. Texas Health and Public Safety Code 775 creates the mission of our entity and provides most of the guidance as to what we have to follow. Click the "Learn More" below this paragraph
