New ESD station joins training, recruitment push

BASTROP — Bastrop County Emergency Services District No. 2 opened its new fire station May 20, a move expected to enhance response times and services on the south side of the district. 

The station in Tahitian Village, east of the city, follows a remodel and relocation project. It houses an engine, a brush truck and a jet boat, and is staffed by both paid and volunteer personnel.

District officials said the addition fulfills a longstanding commitment to improve emergency coverage for residents in the area.
