In Atascocita, Mulligan said the department is in the planning phase for a new training facility consisting of modular units that could be rearranged to suit particular training needs. “If we wanted to change the con guration, it can be done simply,” Mulligan said. “It allows for a lot more exibility.” Additionally, Mulligan said he hopes to move forward on planned renovations to AFD Station 39 and upgrades at the department’s administrative building within the next three years. Mulligan said the planned renovations to Station 39 wouldn’t be as extensive as the work recently completed on Station 29, noting the department is looking into reworking the station’s oor plan to better utilize the second oor of the facility. Mulligan noted exact timelines and cost estimates have not yet been determined.
While Humble Fire Department o cials are not looking to build additional facilities anytime soon, Langenberg said the department has capacity to add two more sta positions and additional apparatuses to the new station, if needed. In February, Houston City Council members voted to initiate the process of acquiring 4.5 acres of land in Kingwood for a planned project that would consolidate stations 101 and 104 into a single, four-bay re station. City o cials said neither of the current stations met the re department’s standards, noting issues with Station 101’s roof and Station 104’s proximity to the San Jacinto River, planning documents show. Taylor said it was still too early in the planning process to establish a timeline for when the project would move forward. “This is the rst on-paper step in a very long path,” Taylor said.

“The importance of the project and the bene t it now provides far exceed the additional local dollars that [were] required.”
