The $12 Million Move: New fire station in The Woodlands escapes cracking fault line
The Woodlands has officially opened a new $12 million fire station after the previous facility was decommissioned due to severe structural damage caused by a local fault line. Experts from the University of Houston say the "Panther Branch Fault" was activated by groundwater pumping, causing the ground to shift and jam the station's bay doors. The new facility on McBeth Way offers a more stable foundation and improved response times by moving the department away from heavy school-zone traffic.
