Enjoy the long weekend — but don’t forget what it’s actually for.

Today’s for the ones who didn’t come home, and the families who’ve been missing them ever since.

Manchaca Fire Rescue / Travis County ESD 5 is one of 13 Emergency Services Districts serving Travis County residents. Manchaca Fire Rescue began in 1968 as an all-volunteer fire department. Since 2015, we have been a fully paid, tax-funded political subdivision; a first responder organization, responding to over 1,500 incidents per year, covering the southernmost portion of Travis County, between I-35 and 45SW Toll, and from Slaughter Lane to the Hays County line.

Today we honor the men and women who answer the call without hesitation. From structure fires and rescues to medical emergencies and disasters, firefighters stand ready 24/7 to protect their communities.

This National Firefighters Day, we recognize the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of every firefighter serving beside us and across the nation.

“May the 4th Be With You” — because heroes don’t wear capes, they wear turnout gear.

Thank you to all firefighters, past and present, for your commitment to service and protecting others on their worst days.

Two of our members recently completed an ALERRT Active Attack Integrated Response Course (AAIR). To respond seamlessly and cohesively with Law Enforcement during an Active Shooter situation.

This training strengthens the critical coordination between fire and law enforcement during high-threat incidents ensuring rapid medical care gets to those who need it most, when every second counts.

We’re proud to continue investing in training that keeps our crews prepared, capable, and ready to serve our community at the highest level. 🚒🚓

Today we celebrate the incredible women who serve our community with strength, courage, and dedication.
From the station to the scene, the women of our department prove every day that the fire service is stronger because of them. Their commitment to protecting lives, supporting their crews, and leading by example makes our union proud.
On International Women’s Day, we recognize and thank the women who continue to break barriers, set the standard, and inspire the next generation of firefighters.
Strong. Capable. Fearless.

Please join us in congratulating Battalion Chief Eran Denzler on being selected as the 2025 Fire Officer of the Year, an honor voted on by his peers in recognition of his leadership, professionalism, and commitment to the fire service.
Chief Denzler was also presented with the 2025 Fire Chief’s Award, given by Fire Chief Chris Botello, for his exceptional dedication and the significant impact of his work on several key initiatives. His efforts have helped advance our organization through the implementation of auto aid with surrounding departments, the integration of computer-aided dispatching through the Austin Fire Department with mobile data computers in our apparatus, the development and adoption of multiple operational guidelines, improvements to station alerting, and many other projects that continue to strengthen our service to the community.
These accomplishments reflect Chief Denzler’s forward-thinking leadership, tireless work ethic, and unwavering commitment to operational excellence.
Congratulations, Battalion Chief Denzler, and thank you for your continued service to Bastrop Travis Counties Emergency Services District No. 1 and the citizens we proudly serve.
