Work is currently underway to put together a history of the department.

The Smithville Volunteer Fire Department has proudly served the Smithville community since 1895. In 1980, the department became a 501c (4) non-profit organization and is charted by the State of Texas as a Fire Department. 

We are located in the City of Smithville, Texas. This rural community is located East of Austin, Texas in Bastrop County. We provide fire, rescue and medical first response to a mainly rural area of approximately 151 square miles. We operate out of two stations which are both located in Smithville. Our current ISO rating is a 5. We are due to be re-evaluated and hope to lower our rating to a 3.

More to come......
