Last week, Ray Holliday and Lisa Andel from our College Station studio participated in the ground breaking for Pearland Fire Station No. 3 alongside: the General Contractor, Crain Group; Pearland Mayor, Tom Reid; and City Manager, Clay Pearson.  Construction has commenced on the new 10,726 square foot station which is located on the corner of Yost and Broadway adjacent to the existing EMS station.  The new station will accommodate both Fire and EMS as the department transitions from volunteer to a career fire department and the two emergency entities have now merged.  The existing EMS station that is currently located in a converted house on the same site as the new station will remain functional throughout construction.  The new Fire Station #3 will accommodate 10 full-time fire fighters and is expected to be open and operational by April 2015, after which the existing EMS station will be demolished.
