Pilot Point celebrates new station

Minutes make the difference in emergency response.

That was the refrain at the Pilot Point Fire Station No. 3 Grand Opening Ceremony.

“Standing here, looking at this incredible facility, it’s easy to see the brick, mortar and steel, but what you’re really looking at is a promise that we’ve kept to our citizens,” Pilot Point Fire Chief Heath Hudson said. “For a long time, we’ve watched our community grow, especially here in the southeast with new homes in Mobberly Farms and Creekview. We knew that our responsibility to protect you had to grow. Today, that responsibility has a new home.”
