The resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Westlake Fire Department, which was established in 1975 by a group of local residents. Initially, the department operated with fewer than 20 members and limited resources, but through community support and fundraising efforts, it was able to build a fire station and expand its equipment inventory. Today, the Westlake Fire Department is primarily funded by Harris County Emergency Services District No. 47 and serves around 100,000 residents in a 10-square-mile area. It is staffed by over 150 volunteers and employees who respond to thousands of emergency calls each year, boasting an impressive average response time of five minutes.

The resolution highlights the department's significant achievements, including its improved Insurance Services Office Public Protection Classification rating of 2, which places it among the top two percent of fire departments nationwide. As the Westlake Fire Department celebrates this milestone, the Texas House of Representatives honors its dedicated personnel for their exceptional service and contributions to the community. The resolution expresses best wishes for the department's continued success and calls for an official copy to be prepared as a token of esteem from the Texas House.
