THE CITY OF FRISCO'S 10TH FIRE STATION IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN NORTHWEST FRISCO.
[00:00:05]
“THE CITIZENS NEED US OUT HERE.” “THIS WILL GIVE US STATION 10 FOR THE NORTHWEST CORNER, BUT IT’S ALSO A STATION FOR THE WHOLE CITY BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE US ONE MORE ENGINE A DAY THAT’S AVAILABLE TO HELP MAKE CALLS WHEN NEEDED.” THE LATEST STATION WILL BE ON FIELDS PARKWAY, EAST OF TEEL PARKWAY, NOT FAR FROM PGA FRISCO AND THE FIELDS DEVELOPMENT.“IT’S A 3-BAY STATION. IT’S GOT A TRAINING ROOM, INDIVIDUAL BEDROOMS FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS.” 12 FIREFIGHTERS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THE STATION 10 WHEN IT OPENS, 4 PER SHIFT.
“ALL THE PERSONNEL THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO THAT ENGINE THAT DAY WILL GO OUT.” STATION 10 WILL HOUSE ONE PARAMEDIC ENGINE TO START, THAT MEANS 2 PARAMEDICS WILL GO OUT WITH THE FIREFIGHTERS ON EVERY CALL THAT COMES INTO STATION 10.
ADDITIONAL STAFF AND EQUIPMENT WILL BE ADDED WHEN NEEDED.
“WITH THE 3 BAYS WE WILL GROW INTO THIS BUILDING AS THIS PART OF FRISCO GROWS, WE’LL ADD APPARATUS.
NOW THAT WE’RE GETTING TO 10 STATIONS, NOT EVERY STATION HAS EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
WE DO OUR DATA ANALYSIS ONCE A MONTH AND THEN WE MAKE DECISIONS FROM THERE WHERE THE AMBULANCES NEED TO BE AND WHERE OUR TRUCK WOULD NEED TO BE.” CURRENTLY STATIONS 9 & 6 ALONG WITH PROSPER FIRE STATION 2 COVER THIS PART OF FRISCO.
“THEY’VE BEEN GETTING GREAT SERVICE. WE’RE JUST GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE STATION HERE NOW AND PROVIDE IT EVEN QUICKER.” BOND FUNDS WILL PAY FOR THE $16 MILLION PROJECT. FIRE STATION 10 IS EXPECTED TO BE OPEN AND IN SERVICE BY SPRING 2025.
