SpaceX Establishes Starbase Volunteer Fire Department for Enhanced Emergency Response Control

SpaceX has quietly established a volunteer fire department to serve its Starbase complex in Texas. This move comes as the recently incorporated city shifts fire-code oversight and emergency response to company-affiliated organizations.

In a significant move to bolster emergency response capabilities at its South Texas facility, SpaceX has established the Starbase Volunteer Fire Department, according to official filings with the Texas Secretary of State. The newly formed nonprofit organization represents SpaceX’s latest effort to internalize critical infrastructure and emergency services at its sprawling launch and manufacturing complex, which recently achieved official city status.
