Groves Fire Station

Dunaway provided civil engineering services for a new, state-of-the-art fire station in Groves, Texas. The Groves Fire Department launched a transformative initiative to replace its aging fire station, originally built in 1957 and burdened with significant structural and repair challenges. With full backing from the City Council and the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the department moved forward with the construction of a facility designed to meet modern safety and operational standards. This local effort reflects a broader national trend: according to the National Fire Protection Association, 43% of fire stations across the U.S. are over 40 years old, with an estimated $100 billion needed to bring them up to date.
