Burn Ban Lifted

Bastrop County is no longer under a burn ban. Burn with caution.

About Us

Bluebonnet Volunteer Fire Department is a volunteer fire department covering Cedar Creek, Wyldwood, Utley, and surrounding areas. We are part of Bastrop ESD #1. We have 3 stations throughout the coverage area, housing a total of 3 engines, 3 brush trucks, 1 tanker, 1 Squad, 'Mobile Air 1' (used to fill our SCBA bottles on the scene), and - our most recent addition - SR71, which is a 6WD Polaris Ranger.

Aside from 2 paid staff members during weekdays, this is a largely volunteer organization. New members are always welcome. No experience is necessary. You will find a group of people more than willing to get you up-to-speed quickly...but more importantly, safely. We have meetings every Thursday night at 7:00 or 7:30. See our 'Calendar' page for the location of our meetings. Maps to our stations can be found by clicking on the station name at the bottom of most pages.

Controlled Burns

If you wish to perform a controlled burn please call the Bastrop County Sheriff's Office at 303-1080. This will potentially prevent us from visiting you unnecessarily. FireCAP is also a good place to go to learn how to reduce your wildland fire risks.
