New Braunfels leadership, fire department celebrate completion of Fire Station No. 2

New Braunfels leadership, the fire department and community members celebrated the completion of Fire Station No. 2 on Sept. 30 with an uncoupling ceremony at 2940 I-35, New Braunfels. The new fire station is approximately 16,300 square feet and cost around $7 million, funded by voter-approved 2019 bond.

“It is my honor to be here with you today to mark [the] completion of another bond project,” City Manager Robert Camareno said. “Today’s ceremony marks an end and a beginning. The end of construction, obviously, but also the beginning of this station going into service and this station becoming a home to the firefighters that come here every day to serve you.”

The new facility will house around a dozen firefighters and personnel.

“Opening a fire station is one of the most exciting events in a fire chief’s career. It signifies growth, progress and possibilities,” fire Chief Ruy Lozano said. “As a community based fire service, we are always much stronger when we stand together.”

A certificate was presented from Sen. John Cornyn by a representative of his office.

“U.S. Senator John Cornyn congratulates the city of New Braunfels Fire Station No. 2. This station’s brave first responders serve on the front lines of local defense and work tirelessly to protect our security and safety,” the certificate read.

State Sen. Donna Campbell’s office also presented a new flag for the station.
