“We are adding an additional bay for a ladder truck to service the high-rise buildings and hotels in the area,” said John McGraw, chairman of the Union Township Board of Trustees.

“The roof structure also needs to be replaced and larger bay doors need to be added.

“The roof needed to be replaced even if we weren't doing this project. Now we can combine the roof replacement with the expansion into one project,” McGraw said.

Every single fire truck and emergency vehicle in Port Aransas was totaled -- destroyed by flooding and debris from Hurricane Harvey.

But now, they have one usable fire truck thanks to a fellow fire department up north.
