Cedar Hill, Texas, is located in the southwest corner of Dallas County. The Cedar Hill Fire Department was organized in May, 1941, with eleven volunteer members. Today, fire protection and emergency medical services are provided from 3 fire stations by 39 career and 15 volunteer firefighters. The department responds annually to some 2,000 alarms and 1,900 EMS calls.

This 1999 Pierce Dash 1,500 gpm fire engine is housed at Central Fire Station. Its call number is E-211. The county wide numbering system denotes the '21' as Cedar Hill and the last number of this set denotes the engine from Central Station. This eliminates a lot of radio transmissions for identification among mutual and automatic aid departments.

Cedar Hill is a rapid, growing community of some 30,000 citizens with an anticipated maximum population of some 140,000.
