Nacogdoches Fire Department New Fire Stations Project

under construction

The Nacogdoches Fire Department is undertaking a $16.7 million project approved by voters in 2023 to build three new fire stations. The project includes the construction of new southern and northern stations, with the city council approving $6.5 million for these constructions. The first phase of $10.2 million covered property purchases, design plans, and the construction of the new Central Fire Station, which consolidates two stations into one, reducing the total from five to four stations. The stations will be strategically located to ensure a maximum response time of four minutes to structures. The city is currently seeking property for the new northern station and has purchased three acres on South Fredonia Street for the southern station near South US Highway 59. The project aims to improve service efficiency and safety for firefighters and the community, with the first new station expected to be completed by 2027.
