First response apparatus with HFD maintain a BLS (Basic Life Support) status with equipment to respond to all minor and major medical calls. Most firefighter's with HFD hold an EMT licence from the Texas Department of State Health Services. HFD supplements HWCEMS by providing additional medical personnel on a first response basis.
