The station, operated by the South Montgomery County Fire Department and Emergency Services District No. 8, serves an area of about 50 square miles in southeast Montgomery County, including the Imperial Oaks neighborhood, Legends Estates and Legends Ranch.
"We have been trying to be sure and locate our fire stations in areas that would lower our response times to be closer to what we have now at our other four stations," said James Kelly, president of the Emergency Services District board of directors.
The 9,500-square-foot station includes three bays for a booster engine, a large Class A fire truck and a mobile command unit.
Fire Chief Robert Hudson said the station will be staffed 24/7 by a five-member team, including a battalion chief, lieutenant, emergency operator and two firefighters.
