Welcome to the

State Association of Fire and Emergency Districts

SAFE-D is the only organization dedicated to helping the men and women of Texas Emergency Services Districts provide fire protection and emergency medical services to more than 8 million Texans.

ESD Websites

Senate Bill 2, passed in 2019, requires Texas ESDs to maintain websites and specifies information that must be available to the public. Here is a link to Texas ESD websites. To have your ESD's website added to this list, email safed@texas.net.

New: Video Library

Access recordings of SAFE-D webcasts by clicking to https://www.safe-d.org/video-library/.

After SAFE-D's 2020 Conference, this content will only be available to members through the soon-to-be-released Member Center.
