Department Overview

The Haslet Fire Rescue (HFR) provides fire suppression and medical first response for the City of Haslet and an immediately surrounding, defined 911 area in unincorporated north Tarrant County. The City describes the coverage area as approximately 19 square miles and says all operations are conducted from one centrally located station.[1]

HFD uses a combination staffing model. The City’s proposed fiscal-year 2026–2027 budget references 12 shift FTE for coverage calculations and separately funds credentialed volunteer firefighters for day, night, safety-officer, and leave coverage.[3] MedStar is also identified by the City as an emergency medical response provider within the service area.[1]

Fire Chief Steven Harvey leads the department and also serves as the City’s Emergency Management Manager. Dennis Selzer is listed as Assistant Chief and Fire Marshal. The non-emergency department number is 817-439-1048; emergencies should always be reported through 911.[2]

Public-reference note: This is an independent reference compiled from public records, not an official dispatch or readiness page. Unit status, assignments, staffing, radio plans, and mutual-aid responses can change without notice. Proposed-budget figures are identified as such and should not be read as final appropriations.

2016

Texas A&M Forest Service awarded the Haslet Volunteer Fire Department a $36,000 grant for a new wildland slip-on unit. [6]

2017–2018

A 100-foot Pierce Velocity PUC platform and a Pierce Velocity PUC engine entered the fleet, substantially expanding aerial and structural-fire capability. [7] [3]

Response Matrix

Incident Type Standard Assignment Additional Notes
Medical emergency HFD medical first response with MedStar response. City source confirms both agencies respond; exact unit assignment is not published.
Structure fire Structural firefighting apparatus with additional regional resources as required. HFD operates an engine, aerial, tanker, and command resources; the public run card is not published.
Grass / wildland fire Brush apparatus supported by water-supply and structural units as conditions require. The current City apparatus page lists Brush 128 and Brush 228.
Vehicle crash / rescue Fire-rescue resources with medical transport and mutual aid when needed. The City budget identifies Attack/Rescue 28 as a rescue/attack truck.
Hazardous materials Initial HFD response with specialized regional support as needed. The proposed budget funds hazmat supplies and technician incentives.
Response-plan note: This capability matrix is based on public service descriptions and fleet records; it is not an official dispatch run card. Incident commanders and dispatchers determine the actual assignment for each emergency.

Mutual Aid

The City states that HFD provides mutual-aid support regionally, across multiple counties, and statewide.[1] Haslet also appears in public records as a contracted service provider for Tarrant County Emergency Services District No. 1, whose 13-department network emphasizes coordinated mutual aid and efficient resource deployment. [9]

Tarrant County Fire Alarm coordinates Haslet incidents in the department’s county jurisdiction. Partner agencies and unit assignments vary by location, incident type, resource availability, and command decisions; a fixed public automatic-aid run card was not located. [8]

Fleet naming note: The City’s current apparatus page uses 128-series unit names, while the July 2026 proposed-budget repair schedule still uses several legacy 28-series identifiers. The table preserves the current public-facing names and records the budget identity as a cross-reference. Detailed pump, tank, foam, and order-number specifications come from established apparatus-reference publications where the City does not publish them; conflicting records are identified in the notes.
