Station 2 crews will be temporarily operating out of Station 1
TEMPLE, TX (July 9, 2025) – In an effort to prioritize the health and safety of first responders, Temple Fire and Rescue has temporarily relocated the crew of Fire Station 2 (1710 E Ave H) to Fire Station 1 (210 N 3rd St) following a facility maintenance issue.
Out of an abundance of caution, Station 2 personnel and equipment have been moved to Station 1 while the affected building undergoes assessments and professional remediation.
The safety of our firefighters is our top priority. This move is a temporary but necessary step while we work to resolve the issue as quickly and safely as possible.
Mitch Randles, Temple Fire Chief
Despite the closure of Station 2, there are no changes to coverage areas, and emergency response coverage throughout the city remains fully operational. However, due to increased travel distance, response times may vary slightly depending on the call location.
Remediation efforts will occur in conjunction with a planned remodel of Station 2, which is expected to take approximately 14 to 18 months. Temporary living quarters for fire personnel will be installed as soon as possible to support operations during this transitional period.
