Not a firefighter or emergency medical professional? There are a variety of different ways to help out your local fire department!

Beach Conditions

Rips tides are very strong on Matagorda Beach. We experience a number of emergency situations each year.

If you’ll be visiting the beach –

  • Know what to do if you are caught in a rip current
  • Ensure anyone in your party that is not a strong swimmer is always wearing a life jacket
  • Position your party away from the Pier. The Pier is a no swimming area. Individuals die each year from getting caught in currents near the pier.

Our Stations

Your contributions help us to keep our stations equipped and ready to serve.
