To accommodate a recently acquired new engine, construction crews are working to raise the roof of the city’s downtown Fire Station No. 1.
According to Mineral Wells Fire Chief Robin Allen, the department is currently housing the new truck at the No. 2 station.
“We’re trying to have a newer engine at each place,” she said.
Allen explained the department’s second-newest acquisition, a Quint 2 ladder truck, will remain at the Industrial Parkway station after the new engine moves to its downtown home.
