South Brazos County Emergency Services District No. 1 and the South Brazos County Fire Department have moved into a new station, about a 10-minute drive from the former location.

How we got here

The move from 11770 Walnut Road comes as the department invests in firefighter safety, according to the ESD’s social media posts. In August, the department announced it had begun purchasing a second set of protective gear for each firefighter, allowing one set to be cleaned and decontaminated after a fire while the other remains available.

Before you go

Work on the new station began in November 2025, and officials expect to hold a grand opening Nov. 2.
