DeSoto City Council Votes Yes on Fire Station Renovation Design
Fire Station #3 Renovation Project Gets Green Light
DESOTO – After the recent cold snap and a number of house fires in the Best Southwest area including a fatal house fire in DeSoto, council gave a nod earlier this week for the city to execute an agreement with Brown Reynolds Watford Architects, Inc. for $248,600 for the Fire Station #3 renovation project.
The existing fire station, located at 1301 W. Pleasant Run Road, was constructed in the mid-1980’s. Over the years, the facility has had limited renovations. It was originally constructed for males in barrack-style accommodations with limited privacy and sleeping quarters, restrooms and showers.
