Baytown considers using Austin Elementary for temporary fire station
Baytown Fire Chief Jim Bland asks the school board to approve a temporary fire station on Austin Elementary School campus near Massey Tormpkins Head Raccoon Drive area to serve new Kings Bend and Whispering Pines subdivisions until area development clarifies. He expects council concurrence and notes $18 000 in 1965 bond funds remain for construction. A portable metal building could become a temporary station with a later permanent site and a new pumper purchased in about nine months.
