When my wife delivered our baby in my car on Barker Cypress, we went straight to Westlake Fire and they did everything that they were trained to do, and I will always be grateful. Thank you all.

It is a true success of an organization. As a homeowner/taxpayer, I know that everyone in this organization gives not only to its community, but to its neighbors. It continues to give not only 100%, but more by each of its members. Thank you for your service. It’s an honor for us to be blessed with this organization in Katy.
