Jollyville Fire Department Celebrating 50 Years of Service

May 29, 2025
In the summer of 1975, after fire destroyed a home in the Forest North subdivision, a group of residents from the Forest North and Anderson Mill neighborhoods got together and formed the Jollyville Volunteer Fire Department. The trained to provide fire protection and vehicle accident response. In 1978, seeing a need, members of Jollyville Fire took Emergency Care Attendant (ECA) courses, tested with the Texas Department of Health and started responding to medical emergencies in our response area as medical first responders. Through the years, JVFD achieved multiple firsts: first Fire District in the county (Williamson County Fire District #1 - 1985), first volunteer fire department in the county to have Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs – 1990), and the first Emergency Services District in the County (Williamson County Emergency Services District #1 - 1995). Today, Jollyville covers an area of approximately 11 square miles and protects approximately 18,500 people, responding to over 1000 call for assistance per year.

This summer, the Jollyville Fire Department is excited to support young entrepreneurs in our community by visiting kids’ lemonade stands—and buying a refreshing cup of lemonade!

It’s a great way to connect with our local firefighters, encourage creativity, and make a summer memory your family won’t forget. Let’s keep the lemonade flowing and the community growing.

Fireworks are best left to the pros.

May 29, 2025
Every year, consumer fireworks cause thousands of injuries and start dangerous fires — many of them completely preventable. The Jollyville Fire Department strongly encourages families to enjoy the holiday by attending a professional fireworks show instead. Professional displays are not only safer, they're bigger, brighter, and choreographed for maximum impact. You get all the thrill without the risk. Skip the backyard fireworks and make it a night to remember — safely. Let the professionals light up the sky. #JollyvilleFD #FireworksSafety #CelebrateSmart #LeaveItToThePros
