Kyle Fire Department adds 3 new engines, breaks ground on new station

KYLE, Texas (KXAN) --- The Kyle Fire Department marked a month of milestones in November.

The department welcomed three new engines. Along with that, KFD broke ground on Station 4 at 110 High Road.

"This 2-acre lot will now be home to our newest station serving the northeast side of Kyle," KFD said in a Facebook post.

The fire department said this station will be a collaborative effort with TXST CIEDAR, a new research and development marketplace for Texas State University.

KFD said it will focus on research to address challenges like flooding, extreme weather and firefighter health.

"As a department, we're proud to continue growing and evolving our capabilities to keep our residents safe," the department said.
