LAKE LIVINGSTON DETACHMENT
This detachment was officially created in December 2010 and currently has Coast Guard Auxiliary members who are residents and business people from the Cape Royal area.
Detachment Leader & Fire Chief Randy Hall leads the detachment. Randy and his crew are highly experienced in boat SAR (Search and Rescue) which they have done for many years as part of their Cape Area Volunteer Fire Department services.
The Lake Livingston crew uses state of the art navigation, sonar with FLIR capabilities along with water assets that include PWC’s used for quick response SAR work. They routinely work closely with the local Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Game Wardens, local Constable and San Jacinto Sheriff's department.
The Lake Livingston is the largest lake constructed for water supply purposes located totally within the State of Texas. The lake was built, and is owned and operated, by the Trinity River Authority of Texas (TRA) under contract with the City of Houston for water supply purposes.
At its widest point it spans 7 miles and is 39 miles long. It has 450 miles of shoreline and encompasses 93,000 acres in 4 counties: Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity and Walker.
