Hamilton Pool Fire Station 606, located at 17304 Hamiliton Pool Road, Lake Travis, south of Hwy. 71, had its grand opening ceremony Jan. 25, but Lake Travis Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Rick Tess confirmed the station has been operational since Dec. 10.

The groundbreaking event for the roughly $4 million facility took place Dec. 4, 2018. Tess said 12 firefighters are assigned to the station, for which personnel will be grouped into three shifts run by four-person teams.

“The station is about 9,000 square feet,” Tess said. “We have a fire truck, a brush truck and a search-and-rescue truck.”

The station also comes equipped with a kitchen, a recreation room, several bedrooms, a bay for the fire vehicles, a gym and administrative offices.
