Montgomery County Texas now has Mont Co ESD 1 with 8 stations and
Montgomery (City) FD with approx 8 stations
plus Mont Co Hospital District medics work out of some fire stations
they could make things more confusing but it would be hard to pull off
note - Mont Co ESD 1 FD was formed in 2017 when ESD 1 and ESD 12
merged - so 'ESD 1' stations became 'Mont Co ESD 1' stations - even
though they were already in Mont Co
----------------
note Caney Creek FD was formed by the merger of Grangeland VFd and
Bennette VFD and River Plantation VFD / ESD 5
bottom line - not only are they merging FDs - they are also merging
ESDs - and they are converting FDs to ESD FDs
note - ESD is a taxing district with 5 commissioners appointed by the
county commissioners - the ESD can levy a sales tax (in addition to
the property taxes that it receives)
basically Texas is converting all suburban FDs from volunteer to fully paid
