11,600 SF   |   Completion May 2022

Built in 1981, the former 3,700 SF Station No. 3 was demolished to make way for a larger, more modern station on the same site. “The Kings of Gruene” responded to over 2,500 calls last year, making it the city’s busiest station. At approximately 11,600 SF, Station No. 3 now houses six firefighters daily and three vehicles, including a fire engine, brush truck and medical transport unit. The new 2-story fire station features space for a reserve fire engine or ambulance, a kitchen, living quarters, a day room and gym facilities. Respect for the residential neighborhood was taken into consideration while construction was completed in a tight workspace perimeter and the firefighters were housed off-site.
