VIDEOS: The Nacogdoches Fire Department is moving into the next phase of its multi-million dollar project. Voters approved $16.7 million to build three new fire stations in 2023.
โWeโre looking at it from a needs standpoint. Thereโs nothing fancy about this that is a โwant.โ Itโs what we need to be able to continue providing service,โ said Assistant Fire Chief Michael Self. The city council approved $6.5 million last week to pay for the construction of new southern and northern stations. โThree of our stations were built in the 1950s and have had major problems over time,โ said Self. The city purchased three acres on South Fredonia Street, relocating the station near South US Highway 59. โThey are still searching for property for the new northern station. โOnce the flyover is finished, it allows a faster response to the Harbor Oaks Subdivision and also getting into town quicker,โ said Self.
