Horseshoe Bay’s new Fire Station No. 2 is now operational, with crews from the Horseshoe Bay Fire Department moving into the facility at 601 Broken Hills Drive in early February.
The facility, completed after a multi-year planning and construction process, is already serving residents from its new location in Horseshoe Bay West.
“Our Station 2 staff is very happy with the new structure,” Fire Chief Doug Fowler told DailyTrib.
The Horseshoe Bay Fire Department staffs 25 full-time firefighters and one part-time firefighter. The fire stations are manned 24 hours a day, with a minimum of six personnel per shift.
The department expects the new station to strengthen emergency response capabilities as the community continues to grow.
Once final adjustments are complete, attention will shift to renovations at the former Station No. 2 building. That facility will be updated to house a second ambulance, Medic 27, which is expected to be in service by the end of 2026.
