ESD #6 was approved in 2001 by voters of the unincorporated areas outside of Forney and is funded by property taxes, the same way city residents pay for their emergency services. Prior to the formation of ESD #6, the families living in the rural areas of Kaufman County were served by a small, volunteer fire department.
