Fire Station 10 is on a 3-acre site and is the definition of a community fire station. Fire Station 10 is located on the “Peninsula” area of Grand Prairie and encompasses a nautical theme to blend into the neighborhood that is surrounded by Lake Joe Pool. The nautical approach includes a metal roof, dormers, natural landscaping and a working lighthouse.
This station will serve not only the Grand Prairie community but it will also serve as a partner with the local cities of Mansfield and Cedar Hill for backup response.
Fire Station 10 will house a staff of six with a potential expansion to nine as the community expands. The station is designed with sustainability and energy conservation practices and includes a modern kitchen, spacious living quarters, efficient offices and report writing rooms, state-of-the-art fitness room, tool room, and ample bunker gear storage with ventilation and safety in mind.
As is customary with a Grand Prairie Fire Station, the public art piece is on display and features the actual anchor from the USS Fort Fisher. The USS Fort Fisher Naval ship was the pride of her time from 1972 to 1998.
