The new station will be built to shorten response times, expand station operations, and improve safe living quarters for firefighters.

"We are excited to acquire this property as the ideal location for a larger, modern Station 186. This investment is one that promises better resources for our firefighters and improved emergency response for our community," said ESD 10 Board President, Larry Smith.

The 8.2-acre property at 31353 Dobbin Huffsmith Road was purchased by ESD 10 for $1.131 million. ESD 10 acquired the land to serve future residential and commercial growth expected in the area. The Dobbin Huffsmith Road site will add a new fire station for Magnolia Fire Department to respond to future emergency response needs.

A timeline for construction of the additional station has not been established.

"We have closely monitored growth in our community and identified a need for a future station in this area. This property presents an excellent opportunity to offer that service. The ESD 10 board will utilize this land to execute our mission of saving lives and protecting property," added Smith.
