Round Rock approves construction contracts for fire station No. 11, fire engine purchase

The details

In a May 26 packet briefing, Fire Department Chief Shane Glaiser said the current configuration of squad vehicles has limited equipment, making them less than ideal for responding to fires involving dumpsters, cars and construction sites.

The new fire station is also the third funded by the city's 2023 bond. The future fire station will also house a satellite office for the Round Rock Police Department, city staff said.

What's next?

Glaiser said he expects the city will receive the new fire engine late next year. City staff said construction on the new fire station is expected to begin this summer and conclude next fall.
