NO! If you have any kind of emergency, you should dial 911. If you drive up to the station, the ambulance at that station might be on another call, and it will take longer to get another ambulance to you then if you had just called right away. Always dial 911.
No, unfortunately are unable to allow birthday parties at our stations. We do, however, allow tours of the stations, and you are always welcome to stop by and look at the fire trucks.

Both! AFD has been proudly staffed by volunteers since 1978. Over time, as the service demands increased, AFD has started increasing paid staffing levels and now staffs MICU (paramedic) ambulances and pumpers 24/7 with both paid personnel and volunteer firefighters. To ensure quick response times, AFD volunteers must ride on crew at the station, and do not respond from their homes. Regardless of the time of day, or day of the week, AFD has several apparatus staffed and ready to assist you in your time of need 24/7.
YES! We have several members that live outside of Atascocita and doing so is easy beacuse all volunteers are required to ride on a duty crew at the station anyways.
Atascocita is a suburb of Houston, located to the northeast of the City of Houston, by George Bush Intercontinental Airport. We are just outside Beltway 8, and boarder the City of Houston on 3 sides and Humble on the other.
AFD is unable to fill swimming pools. If you are filling a swimming pool, contact your MUD, you MIGHT be able to get a partial credit on your bill.
