Haslet Fire Rescue
A single-station combination fire-rescue agency protecting the City of Haslet and a defined 911 response area in unincorporated north Tarrant County.
Department Overview
Department ProfileThe 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]
