Williamson County Emergency Services District #6 is happy to announce a new service we provide. We have recently purchased a pet chip reader. If you find a furry escapee that is looking to get home, you can bring it by the Weir Community Fire Station at 450 FM 1105, and we can scan the chip. Once scanned, we can access the available database and hopefully get fluffy back to where they belong. This is just one more service provided by your Fire Department and Williamson County Emergency Services District #6. This is in conjunction WILCO Animal Control Officers. And, as always, we thank you for your support.
