Welcome to the Cy-Fair Fire Department's EMS careers portal!
The Cy-Fair Fire Department (CFFD) covers a 164-square mile area in northwest Harris County. We have a long and successful record of providing fire and emergency medical services to the citizens of the Cy-Fair community. We respond out of 13 stations strategically located throughout the territory.
The EMS Division is staffed with over 130 full and part-time employees. The department responded to over 30,000 calls in 2020 including just over 24,000 EMS responses.
In 1971, the need was justified for some type of additional first aid for the area. Graham Ambulance Service, located in Spring Branch, and the City of Houston were serving the community at this time.
A vehicle was purchased to be built-out as an equipment truck for first aid. A chassis was bought from Kitzman Chevrolet and taken to Koenig to have a box built on the back. Later the members added some stainless steel cabinets for extra equipment. The vehicle was housed at the Chief’s home since he was EMS-certified. There were not too many EMS-certified people in the Department then.
Cy-Fair FD became involved in the ambulance business about 1980. Cameron Iron Works (now Wymann Gordon) purchased the first unit and donated it to the Department. The Department went on to purchase another used unit, a 1979 Ford module unit.
Later CFFD purchased two new 1981 Ford van-type units for Station 5 and 10. In 1983, the Department bought the first Wheel Coach module. Additional units of this type were bought and have replaced some of the early units. With this fleet of ambulances, the EMS program grows stronger each year. Initially, the ambulances were staffed with all volunteer crews. Later, the two primary ambulances were manned with paid crews at nights.
Now, with the funding from Harris County ESD #9, CyFair Fire Department staffs 11 Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICU) with additional staffed units during the week, and 2 EMS District Chief vehicles which are staffed 24 hours a day. As the Cypress area remains one of the fastest growing areas in the nation, this next year Cy Fair our department intends to expand to provide 2 additional stations with the ultimate goal of utilizing over 20 stations in the next 10 years.
We are constantly growing and evolving to exceed current trends in medicine. Over the years we have built a system which gives our clinicians the tools they need to perform their jobs; from state of the art crash rated ambulances with patient compartment air bags, stretcher power loads and LUCAS 2 on every unit. We currently hold the Silver Mission Lifeline award; managing over 200 STEMI’s annually with ROSC percentages above the national average. The department is equipped, more than ever, to meet the challenges of prehospital medicine in the 21st century. Whether it is embracing the latest technology in prehospital medicine, Just Culture to guide management, or changing from protocols to guidelines we are prepared to meet the needs of the community. As the department grows, it is our goal to seek the most qualified customer service oriented clinicians in the nation. If you are up for the challenge please apply now!
