Center Point Fire Dept Rebuilds After Flood | Austin News

Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Center Point’s volunteer fire department is reeling after a second devastating flood in just a year, this time swallowing their station and wiping out nearly all equipment and electronics—just months after surviving a similar disaster. With seven feet of Guadalupe River water rushing in, the 30 volunteers covering 150 square miles are scrambling to recover, while neighboring departments like Round Rock and Waco step in to cover calls. Though they’ve saved some trucks, everything else is lost—forcing a full rebuild. But with land already purchased for a flood-resistant future station, the team is determined to rise stronger, aiming to resume emergency responses by Saturday.
