From Those We Serve

We started partnering with Harris County ESD 48 in 2019, having been connected through our common passion to see childhood drownings end. We continue to be blown away by the passion and drive ESD48 has to keep the community safe in all aspects of life. It has been a true pleasure and honor to partner with them in their drowning prevention efforts. They stand alone as the gold standard among the many emergency services departments we work with. We foresee a long and wonderful partnership between ESD48 and the Judah Brown Project!

Judah Brown Project

My family is beyond grateful to have had the CRR team perform a Home Safety Survey on our home. They installed 8 new smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. We were given 2 fire extinguishers and informed of other safety measures to take, like having a fire exit plan. Thank you for your professionalism and courtesy!

Debbie Long

When we were pregnant with baby #3 we wanted all of our car seats checked. We not only had a dedicated person to install them, he spent almost 30 minutes explaining how to install them and let my husband and I take turns doing it so we would know for the future. Great group of people protecting our city!

Ashley Eddy

I am immensely grateful to HCESD 48 for their fast response to the fire at my home. They contained the fire, protected our neighbors' homes, and were so respectful during our traumatic experience. THANK YOU to all who served and responded that day.
