Please remember:
➡️ Always use caution with any outdoor burning
➡️ Never leave fires unattended
➡️ Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby
➡️ Check conditions before you burn

Stay safe, Fort Bend County!

Recently brought into service is our new Pierce 3000 gallon tanker, this unit was purchased in order to not only effectively double our standby water supply but also aid in our efforts to stay ahead of growth in our community. A big thank you to William Bradshaw with Siddons-Martin Emergency Group for helping get this build together and the citizens of Fort Bend ESD #3 for their constant support.
