Missouri City officials, along with representatives from the Missouri City Fire and Rescue Services department, broke ground on the city’s sixth fire station March 24. 
The $5.1 million station, which will be located at the intersection of Lake Olympia Parkway and Vicksburg Boulevard near the entrance to the Parks Edge neighborhood, will be completed in a year, Council Member Jeffrey Boney said.
“This is an exciting day for Missouri city as a whole, especially for District B,” Boney said. “I am proud to serve with a council that understands and supports the need for this fire facility.”
Once completed, Fire Station No. 6 will house one fire engine as well as firefighters, fire marshals, training and professional development staff, and administrative support staff. The two-story, 16,752-square-foot building will include an additional bay for emergency responder vehicles, staff living facilities, a kitchen, an emergency generator, storage and office space.
