A
little background on Station 35 and its Equipment
The original 2 bay station was
demolished in 1991 and replaced by a more modern 3 bay
facility. Its upgrades included shower facilities, laundry
room, kitchenette, day room, second floor training area as
well as additional storage. It is the home to 3 pieces of
equipment, a Pumper, Booster, Rehab and 15+ dedicated
firefighters and support personnel. Station 35 is located on
Dowdell Rd near Kuykendahl. It's response area includes The
Willow Forest subdivision, Bridgestone West Subdivision,
Hooks Airport, Wind Rose Subdivision, FM 2920 between Willow
Creek and Kuykendahl and Bordeaux road between Kuykendahl
and
Huffsmith-Khorville. Station 35 responds to Mutual Aid calls
with Spring VFD, Tomball VFD and Magnolia VFD.
Our Rehab truck is a unique piece of
equipment as responds on all brush fires, commercial fires
and residential fires on the first page. This allows Klein
to get needed drinking water, ice, food and an enclosed air
conditioned / heated area to our scenes to rehab tired
firefighters.
Below is a brief description
of our equipment at Station 35.
