City of Katy Fire Department Responds to 370 Calls in January 2025
The City of Katy Fire Department (KFD) responded to 370 emergency calls in January 2025, including 127 fire-related incidents and 243 emergency medical service (EMS) calls. These calls ranged from residential fires and vehicle accidents to medical emergencies requiring immediate attention.
At all hours of the day, firefighters and paramedics stationed across the city respond to calls that can change lives in an instant. In one instance, KFD responded to a car fire at a commercial business on Pederson Road, where the vehicle was located in close proximity to other cars and the building. Additionally, KFD crews trained in performing emergency surgical airways. This advanced technique equips paramedics with the ability to administer life-saving interventions in the field during critical emergencies when standard procedures are insufficient.
