New Denton fire station at Landmark to enter design phase

Denton City Council members directed city staff to begin design on a new permanent fire station in the Landmark master-planned community that will serve Landmark and Robson Ranch at a Feb. 3 council work session.

The gist: The new facility, Fire Station 10, will improve the fire department’s response time to Robson Ranch, Denton Fire Chief Kenneth Hedges said.

A report from Hedges showed that the Denton Fire Department has an average response time to Robson Ranch of about nine minutes from Fire Station 7, the closest station to Robson Ranch. The fire department aims for a response time of four minutes, Hedges said. Currently, Fire Station 7 is unable to make it to Robson Ranch Road within four minutes.

By the numbers: The station’s design phase will cost roughly $800,000, and the total project cost will reach about $12.3 million, Hedges said.

Looking ahead: The city would need to issue bonds to finance the $12.3 million permanent fire station, which would incur about $950,000 in annual debt service over 20 years.
