OCESD3
HISTORY
Serving Little Cypress
Since 1961
The Little Cypress Volunteer Fire Department was created in March 1961 by proactive citizens in the Kinard Estates Subdivision. The Volunteer Department grew along with the community of Little Cypress to the point that the citizens realized that the department needed more resources to be able to continue to provide services so in 2001-2002 the process of becoming an Emergency Services District in the State of Texas was completed and OCESD3 was born.
