Pilot Point breaks ground on new fire station ahead of development boom
PILOT POINT — Pilot Point broke ground Thursday morning on its second fire station, meant to serve the thousands of homes currently under construction — and more to come — in the city’s southeast territories.
“We’re not just building a structure,” Fire Chief Heath Hudson said. “We’re building the future of public safety and community service.”

The officials say they are looking forward to increased public safety collaboration because the new fire station will have space for police officers, too. Brooke Colombo/DRC
