Celebrating a ribbon cutting is always a joyous occasion for the Chamber of Commerce, but we are especially thankful to recognize our Emergency Services Districts. Harrison County ESD3, led by Chief John C. Pritchard serves an expansive area of 188 square miles, and in 2018 responded to 588 calls in service to our community.

Starting as a Scottsville department in the late 70s, voters later formed the first fire prevention district in East Texas in 1982, Harrison County Rural Fire Prevention District # 1. The Blocker, Karnack and Shadowood stations were formed in the mid-1980s and worked as independent and separate departments in HCRFPD#1. In 2005 a Texas Constitutional Amendment converted all rural departments to Emergency Services Districts. They then chose to combine all 4 fire departments to form one “ESD 3 Fire Rescue, the largest ESD in Harrison County. Harrison County Emergency Services District no.3 is a taxing entity of the state of Texas.
