Austin Fire crews responded to a brush fire in northeast Austin yesterday morning and quickly got it under control. Thanks to their rapid response and training, the fire was contained to approximately 5 acres, preventing further spread. | Austin Fire Department

At the Austin Fire Department, we believe everyone deserves to feel valued, supported, and seen. This Pride Month, we’re proud to share the voices of three of our members who spoke about what it means to serve in a department where they can show up fully as themselves, and where they’ve found a second family. Their stories remind us that inclusion strengthens our team, and that when we take care of each other, we all do better. | Austin Fire Department
