KHOU: Downtown fire station finally open

KHOU-11 reports that on Monday, Houston's only downtown fire station finally opened for business:

Some firefighters are gearing up for their first night in a new fire station.

Station 8 is located in the 1900 block of Louisiana in downtown Houston. It's the only fire station downtown.

Construction started in September 2006, and Monday was move-in day.

The station's opening was delayed a few times due to rainy weather and the discovery of underground chemical storage tanks.

As noted in an earlier post, two other downtown fire stations were vacated so that Tilman Fertitta and Les Alexander could have new playpens.
