Fire Station No. 5

Project: The Woodlands Township is constructing a new fire station to replace the original Fire Station No. 5. This follows a number of issues surrounding the old building's condition as part of a $14.5 million package for fire department improvements, according to previous Community Impact reporting. The station is set to have 23,000 square feet of space, which will house the fire department and members of the Montgomery County Hospital District.

Update: Chief Palmer Buck said in November that a move-in date is planned for early 2026, and work on the station was nearly complete.
