\"McKinney-Fire-(17)\"McKinney, TX<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Two thousand acres of beautiful homes make up Trinity Falls, a three-year-old community located six miles from McKinney, TX<\/a>. As McKinney and the surrounding areas experience population growths, the need for additional fire protection also increases. The City of McKinney chose Crossland<\/a> to build McKinney Fire Station No. 10, a modern, 16,000 SF facility that sits on three acres and accommodates up to ten firefighters. The station\u2019s design is similar to Station No. 9 – built in 2018 \u2013 and included input from the firemen.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Heritage and service are pillars of community fire stations. New stations will often hold open houses for the public they serve, with kids delighting at the shiny, red trucks and ladders that lift firefighters super high. But a century ago, fire stations were merely buildings that housed horse-drawn pumpers. In the decades since, fire department missions have evolved from primarily responding to fires, to a full-service public safety agency. They now dispatch to vehicle accidents, hazmat incidents, specialized rescues, and natural disasters.<\/p>\n

A lot of planning goes into optimizing the space, so firefighters have a safe and useful environment that serves as their place of work, residence, and often a community center. <\/span><\/p>\n
