Fire Station 6 Grand Opening Set for Thursday

(Longview, TX) The City of Longview will host a Grand Opening Ceremony for the newly constructed Fire Station 6, located at 2808 McCann Rd. The event will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, July 22. Due to limited parking, guests attending the grand opening are encouraged to park on Hampton Court, which is located one block south of the new station.

As part of the Capital Improvements Projects bond election in May 2007, voters approved $2.5 million in bond funds for fire station improvements. Fire Station 6 is a 10,701 square foot building that features sleeping quarters for twelve, four apparatus bays, kitchen, living area, and work spaces. The cost of land and construction was approximately $1.83 million. Prior to construction of the new building, Fire Station 6 previously was located at 1515 Judson Rd. In addition to the construction of Fire Station 6, bond funds have been used to expand and renovate Fire Station 2 located at 708 N. Eastman Road.

According to interim Fire Chief J.P. Steelman, “Fire Station 6 is one of our busiest stations in terms of calls per shift. The size and functionality of the new station will be a great resource for the men and women that serve in the Longview Fire Department.”
