“WELCOME TO FRISCO FIRE STATION #10." “IT’S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS DEPARTMENT HAS GROWN TO 10 STATIONS SINCE I FIRST BECAME INVOLVED WITH IT OVER 30 YEARS AGO, BUT HERE WE ARE.” FIRE STATION 10 SITS ON FIELDS PARKWAY, WEST OF TEEL PARKWAY, NEAR PGA FRISCO AND THE FIELDS DEVELOPMENT.
“WE DIDN’T BUILD FIRE STATION 10 JUST FOR TODAY. THIS FIRE STATION IS BUILT FOR THE FUTURE.
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SITE WILL FURTHER ENHANCE AND CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ABILITIES TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES POSSIBLE.” EACH FIREFIGHTER HAS HIS OR HER OWN DORM ROOM PLUS A SEPARATE SPACE FOR PERSONAL LOCKERS.
THERE'S A WORKOUT ROOM AND THE LARGE LIVING SPACE IS RIGHT OFF THE BAY SO FIREFIGHTERS CAN QUICKLY GET TO THE ENGINE.
“BEING ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE COUNTRY OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS IS NO EASY TASK.
COUNCILS HAVE BEEN COMMITTED THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO AS A COMMUNITY, WHAT PROJECT WE WERE TRYING TO WORK ON, IT ALWAYS STARTED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY.” VOTER APPROVED BONDS PAID FOR THE $15.8 MILLION PROJECT.
“THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO MAKING THIS A REALITY.
MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND FAMILIES OF FIREFIGHTERS ENJOYED WASHING THE NEWEST FIRE ENGINE BEFORE PUSHING IT INTO THE BAY.
"GET TO WASH THE TRUCK WAS REALLY A LOT OF FUN.
I’VE BEEN A PART OF PROBABLY HALF OF THE FIRE STATIONS THAT HAVE OPENED IN THE COMMUNITY." “THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE BETTER RESPONSE TIMES AND WE’RE PART OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE WANT THEM TO COME BY, SEE THEIR FIRE STATION BECAUSE THE FIRE STATION BELONGS TO THEM.”
