Chronicle Reports: Sienna Gets Final Mo-City Council Approval for Fire Station #5-

City Council in Missouri City has authorized City Manager Frank Simpson to sign an amendment to the city's fire protection agreement with Sienna Plantation Municipal Utility District No. 1 that paves the way for the construction of a new fire station.

The new station, Missouri City's fifth, will be built on land donated to the city by Sienna/Johnson Development at a site to be determined within the Sienna Plantation area. The agreement calls for a minimum one-acre site.


In his report to council, Simpson said that the city and the utility district will share in the cost of both the station and apparatus. The total cost has not yet been determined. . . (Click the title link above for more)

Comments: It would be nice if the city would also contribute to maintaining the station since city areas will also gain coverage from it. Also for those reading this blog it is important to remember that in order for our fire fighters to enter a burning building to rescue people or property they must have a least 4 trained personnel riding in the truck. Missouri City only requires 3 thus two trucks must respond for serious fires involving life and property. Hopefully we can get our cities ISO rating above a current level of 4 with improvements. Increasing the ISO rating will save our area additional insurance fees and increase safety.

-Thank you to our neighbors in Oakwick, Waterbrook and Silver Ridge for keeping this on the front burner since last year!
