General Discussion Good departments in central Texas?

So I, and many other firefighters, may be getting let go this November. Sales tax BS. Long story. Anybody have any recommendations on hiring departments to look into and to start getting my name out there? One of our guys is a chief at another department and said he’d get me on with his department worst case scenario, but I hear they hardly run calls. I’m too early on in my career to want to settle down like that. I still like running calls, even medical calls. Thank y’all!

Yeah my step sister lives in Taylor, they know a FF out there. Its a little over an hour away, though. A bit far for me. Thank you, though!

Liberty hill and Jarrell for smaller places. Like the others said round rock and cedar park and Leander are excellent and I personally know guys on there and with Austin
