The burn ban for Hays County is

OFF

Wimberley Volunteer Fire Department is made up of thirty one volunteer, five full time, and one part time personnel that cover 135 square miles of the south western portion of Hays County.  We have three engines, three brush trucks, two water tenders, one heavy rescue, and one compressed air foam system truck.

 

In the early part of 2011, the Insurance Services Office ( the group that recommends to the State of Texas the insurance rates for residential and commercial properties ) did a review of us and recommended to the state that the insurance rate for this area be lowered to a 5 in a water district and an 8b outside of a water district.  The state accepted the recommendation and the lower rates should be applied this year.

To find out if Wimberley Fire Department provides fire services to your property go to Hays County Tax Assessor’s web site. Click the “Yes, I accept” button and then click the “Search By” drop down menu and select “Property address” option. Enter the address that you are looking for and click “Search”.  Select the property that you are looking for from the list and on the page after that click the “View & Print County Tax Bill” button. On the list of taxing entities, if you see “Wimberley Fire Hays Co ESD #4” then we do provide fire services for that property.
