A FIRST FOR BASTROP COUNTY!

Bastrop Travis Counties ESD No. 1 is proud to become the first fire department in Bastrop County licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) as an Advanced Life Support Provider!

This accomplishment represents countless hours of advanced medical education, provider credentialing and medical director review, specialized equipment purchases, significant investment in lifesaving technology, and a rigorous DSHS inspection and licensing process.

But the reason behind all of it is simple:

To provide the highest level of advanced life support medical care possible when our community needs it most.

This is a major milestone for our organization and, most importantly, for the citizens we serve. We look forward to working side by side with Bastrop County ESD3 and Austin Travis County EMS on medical emergencies providing the best possible medical care.

A special Thanks to Travis County Clinical Performance and Education (DCPE) and Doctor Taylor Ratcliff our Medical Director for their continued support and training.

BTCESD1 — Proud to Serve. Prepared to Save.
