The Burn Ban is in Effect

Welcome to  the Buda Fire Department Website! 

 
The Buda Fire Department is a combination paid/volunteer fire department. We provide fire suppression and EMS first response to a 72 square mile area of  northeast Hays County, including the cities of Buda and Hays. We are situated 15 miles south of Austin, Texas along the Interstate 35 corridor.  Hays county is among the fastest growing of counties in the state of Texas.  Established in 1956, the department became part of the Northeast Hays County Rural Fire Prevention District (NEHCRFPD) in 1985 which allowed the fire department to be funded by tax money. In July of 2003 this was converted to Hays County Emergency Service District #8.
