Four Richardson Fire Department members (a captain and three firefighters/paramedics), remain deployed to Williamson County as part of Texas Task Force 2, helping with flood recovery efforts at Big Sandy Creek in Leander. In addition, a staff member from the City’s Office of Emergency Management will remain in Austin through Sunday while he helps support Travis County’s flood response as part of the Incident Support Task Force.
