A circular emblem for Austin Fire Auxiliary features a heart with the Texas flag and the Texas State Capitol building in the foreground, set against a Maltese cross design with flames on either side and the words "AUXILIARY AUSTIN FIRE" in the background.

We Are the Hearts Behind the HeroesWhat started in May of 1956 as the Ladies Auxiliary to the Austin Firefighters Association has evolved into a dynamic, high-energy 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the support and well-being of our entire fire family. From the first day of the Academy to a well-earned retirement, the Auxiliary is here to fuel the strength, resilience, and connection of the Austin Fire family. Our vision is simple but profound: to ensure no one in our fire family ever walks alone.
