                   WHEREAS, The two-story, nearly 18,000-square-foot building 
         
            is replacing the property that had previously served as Fire 
         
            Station 1 since 1954; Arlington voters approved plans to rebuild 
         
            the city's oldest fire station as part of the 2014 bond program, and 
         
            the City of Arlington broke ground on the project on March 9, 2022; 
         
            and
         
                   WHEREAS, Designed to provide a better work and living space 
         
            for Arlington firefighters, the new facility features five larger, 
         
            drive-through apparatus bays, a full kitchen and dining room, and 
         
            various offices; the improved living quarters for the station's 
         
            three shift crews, who each spend 24 hours working from the downtown 
         
            station, will include 12 private dormitory rooms and separate men's 
         
            and women's restrooms with showers; the building's design 
         
            incorporates several energy-saving features and technologies, as 
         
            well as native landscaping with minimal irrigation requirements; 
         
            and
         
                   WHEREAS, The members of the Arlington Fire Department have 
         
            demonstrated an exceptional commitment to protecting the lives and 
         
            property of their fellow citizens, and this spacious new facility 
         
            ensures that the department will be even better equipped to serve 
         
            the community in the years to come; now, therefore, be it
         
                   RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas 
         
            Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby congratulate the Arlington 
         
            Fire Department on the grand opening of Fire Station 1 and commend 
         
            all those who supported and oversaw the completion of this project 
         
            for their contributions; and, be it further
         
                   RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
         
            prepared for the members of the Arlington Fire Department as an 
         
            expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
