The development of the second fire station was made possible by a bond approved by voters.
Anna, Texas (August 26, 2024) – The City of Anna and Anna Fire Rescue celebrated the grand opening of the new Fire Station Two on Friday, August 23, 2024. This 1,950 square foot facility is a testament to the City’s commitment to public safety as Anna continues to grow and thrive.

The new Fire Station Two features state-of-the-art amenities, including:
- An intelligent station warning system to improve response times in emergency situations
- Six pull-through equipment bays for accommodating front and reserve equipment
- A special Anna Fire Rescue Museum, which features a fire engine from 1948
- Sleeping accommodation for up to 10 people, complete with adjoining lounge, kitchen, dining area, terrace and gym
- A September 11th memorial plaque honoring the heroes of September 11th
The ribbon-cutting ceremony, attended by city officials, local dignitaries and community members, was followed by an open house where attendees toured the facility and learned more about the work of Anna Fire Rescue. Fire Chief Ray Isom, Mayor Pete Cain and representatives from Crossland Construction and Conduit Architecture spoke at the event.
