Flags Wave for Station 6

City holds a grand opening of station

With only blue clouds and no smoke in sight, the San Marcos Fire Department had all flags flying Friday as firefighters, city officials and guests came together to acknowledge the completion of construction, grand opening and engine push in for its newest facility, Station 6.

Located in the TRACE neighborhood in Southeast San Marcos, at 5716 S. Old Bastrop Highway, the new station represents a state of the art design, according to master of ceremonies for the day, Fire Marshal Capt. Jonathan Henderson, who was filling in for San Marcos Fire Department Chief Les Stephens who was unable to attend the festivities due to a family conflict.
