Cedar Park Fire Department

On May 27, 1997, multiple tornadoes touched down across Central Texas, leaving a path of destruction and forever changing many lives. Members of the Cedar Park Fire Department responded alongside neighboring agencies to protect lives, assist displaced residents, and help our community recover during one of the region’s most significant severe weather events.

Today, we remember those impacted by the storms and recognize the dedication of the first responders, dispatchers, public works crews, and community members who came together during a difficult time.

Severe weather preparedness remains as important today as it was 29 years ago. As we reflect on this historic event, we encourage everyone to have a plan, stay weather aware, and heed warnings when storms threaten our area.
