The Comal County Emergency Services District No. 6 (ESD No. 6) (a component unit of Comal County) is a political subdivision of the State of Texas and was created by the Comal County Commissioners’ Court after a Public Election in 2003. The District was created to provide emergency services and promote public safety, welfare, health, and convenience of persons residing in the District. Encompassing the southern section of Comal County, it is responsible for providing fire and medical services to over 75 square miles of a combination of Texas hill country rural, wildland, and suburban settings.

Emergency Services. ESD No. 6 provides for 24/7 emergency services that include Fires Services (Fire Prevention & Suppression) and Emergency Medical Services (Treatment & Transport). This is provided in a deliberate two-tiered approach that provides for fire (EMT certified fire crews) to be the initial responder to both fire and medical emergencies. This trained and practiced tactic provides for the most efficient and effective response for citizens of this district.
