Westlake Hills is served by Travis County ESD 9/Westlake Fire Department—rated ISO Class 2—backed by strict ordinances like year-round burn bans to protect this wildfire-prone region. Local assessments rank Westlake Hills within a high-risk wildland–urban interface—on par with areas that previously suffered destructive fires—due to dense vegetation, steep terrain, and ember-prone conditions.

While emergency response here is strong, true fire safety starts at home. Across the U.S., neglected chimneys, fireplaces, and dryer vents are leading ignition sources in residential blazes. Capitol Chimney helps Westlake Hills homeowners reduce risk with comprehensive services: chimney inspections, sweepings, and repairs—plus dryer-vent cleaning and wildlife-protective covers.
