Welcome to HCESD#16 and Klein Fire


HCESD 16 is an Emergency Services District(ESD) - a political subdivision, or local government agency, of the State of Texas - created to provide fire protection and related emergency services within the district and authorized to collect public-approved taxes and fees. The District is governed by a board of five commissioners elected by public vote to serve 4-year terms. Currently, there are more than 300 ESDs in Texas, including 31 in Harris County. The governing statute for an ESD is Chapter 775 of the Texas Health and Safety Code. Click here for more information on ESDs.


Since 1951, the Klein Volunteer Fire Department (KVFD) has provided fire suppression, first responder EMS, and related services within the District's 49-square mile service area in norther Harris County. In September 2022, the District assumed direct responsibility for those services and now operates as the Klein Fire Department.


Today, HCESD 16 is an ISO Class 2 community, with a resident population of over 175,000 living in a diversified area of single-family dwellings, schools, high-density apartment complexes and high-rise condominiums, buildings, light industry, and commercial retail centers. The area also includes an acute-care hospital, FAA-controlled airport, and two major highways that cross through the District (SH249 and SH 99).
