What we know
The new station, or Fire Station 10, will be located near the intersection of Old Settlers Boulevard and Red Bud Lane, Director of General Services Chad McDowell said.
McDowell explained the fire station will follow a prototype that has already been used for four other fire stations throughout the city. The most recent—Fire Station 1—is currently being constructed.
The competitive sealed process has been the most cost effective for the buildout of these prototypes, McDowell told City Council members.
City documents indicate the new facility will cost roughly $10 million and is intended to serve north Round Rock. The city’s plan for additional fire stations is intended to help reduce response times across the city.
Fire Station 10 was approved by voters in 2023, with the bond package including $44 million toward public safety.
