Round Rock City Council approved architectural and engineering contracts Thursday to move forward with the design of a new Fire Station 1.

The station will be located at 1730 E. Old Settlers Blvd. and house one battalion chief and a fire crew comprised of three to four firefighters. The new location will move these personnel from the Central Fire Station located at 203 Commerce Blvd., which will continue to house administration functions for the Round Rock Fire Department. The new location is expected to better distribute response times across the City, with improved response to the growing eastern portion of the community.

A previously designed prototype fire station will be used as a blueprint for the project. The contract for architectural services with McKinney York Architects will include updating the current prototype Fire Station plans to new building codes, adding a fourth vehicle bay for apparatus and redesigning the HVAC system and roof. The engineering services contract with 2P Consultants, LLC will include site layout, grading and drainage design, utility design, erosion control, permitting and platting.

Two GA firefighters were hurt in a Carroll County crash Thursday morning while responding to a medical call, msn.com reports.

A Carroll County fire engine was headed south on Clem Road just prior to 7:30 a.m. when the driver lost control, veered off the roadway, and hit two mailboxes and a group of trees, the report says.

County officials say one firefighter was treated and released, while the other underwent surgery. Both are expected to make a full recovery, according to the report.
