First Aid Training
We will be coordinating with our Service Provider over the next few months to see if we can tentatively schedule quarterly training for our citizens to attend and learn basic first aid and how to perform CPR.
Please check back often to see when this training gets scheduled.

Smoke alarms are the most effective early warning devices for fires. Having the appropriate number and properly working smoke alarms in your home reduces the chances of fire-related deaths significantly. This program provides needed safety prevention service and educates residents who may be more vulnerable in a home fire.
Your local Fire Department, Bexar County Emergency Services District 11, has a program for free smoke detectors (battery operated only) and installation. The smoke detector program is available for District 11 county residents who reside in a single-family or two-family residence.
Exclusionary examples include businesses, contractors and rental properties.
The department also will install replacement batteries in existing smoke detectors (limited to 4 detectors) and do a fire inspection at no charge. Hard wired smoke detectors do not qualify for this program. Fire Department personnel will not identify or fix issues with hard wired detectors.
Please expect a fire department vehicle and fire department personnel (4) to arrive at your home at the appointment time. If you, or you know of a fellow resident in need of a smoke alarm or smoke alarm test, please contact us at administration@esd11.org or call 210.467.5878.
