Timber Lakes Fire Department has moved into a new fire station, Station 141, adjacent to its original facility in Spring, Fire Chief Josh Kennedy confirmed.

The details

Founded in 1969 as an all-volunteer department, TLFD now operates as a combination department with 24/7 staffing since it began hiring part-time firefighters in 2018, Kennedy said. The department serves an area of about 3 square miles in southern Montgomery County, according to its website.

Kennedy said the original facility, built in 1970, was not designed for 24/7 operations. Construction on Station 141 began in July 2024 and wrapped up in July 2025, and TLFD moved into the new station on Aug. 10, he said. The public is invited to the station’s grand opening, scheduled for Oct. 4 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., he said.
