The Williamson County Emergency Services District No. 3 is opening its new fire station in Hutto with plans to hold an official uncoupling ceremony in December.

The gist

This will be the fourth fire station for the Williamson County ESD No. 3, also known as Hutto Fire Rescue, with the new facility located in the Star Ranch subdivision.

Fire Station 4, with a construction cost of $6.6 million, is meant to enhance safety and response times in the area. The 12,000-square-foot station includes three bays and a living quarter. To celebrate the new station, the district will host an uncoupling ceremony at 10:30 a.m., Dec. 6.

What else?


The district is also planning for a new Fire Headquarters Complex. The Williamson County ESD No. 3 board of commissioners approved a construction contract with Pfluger Builders for $7.5 million at a September meeting.
