Prosper Fire Station #4 on track for 2026 opening after minor cost increase

Construction on the gas line is projected to begin February 2025. The rest of the station’s construction will begin as soon as possible now that the designs are done and is still expected to open in early 2026, Fire Chief Stuart Blasingame said.

The details

Fire Station No. 4 will include five bays to house its fire engines. It will also include sleeping quarters, offices and a kitchen for its firefighters.

Overall, the station is a little smaller than some of the others in Prosper but “exactly what we need for that site,” Blasingame said.

Some context

The fire station has been a topic of discussion for Prosper officials since 2021.

Setbacks including high construction prices, other town projects taking priority and bringing the Central Fire Station online delayed the project in the years since, according to a meeting presentation.
