The City of Dallas opens a long delayed temporary fire station to replace tornado damaged Preston Royal location.
- Nearly three years after a tornado destroyed the old Preston Royal fire house, the neighborhood is getting a new one.
"Excited to be back in the area! I know our firefighters are," said Dallas Fire Chief Dominique Artis. The temporary station was originally expected to open in the summer of 2021. The city has blamed COVID, supply chain disruptions, labor shortage and permitting issues for repeated delays. "This is urgent. This is right off the Tollway, so it can go everywhere in the city pretty quickly," said Council member Cara Mendelsohn, who s aidthe station helps backup those in her Far North Dallas district.The city, which has considered opening other temporary replacement for stations, said it's unlikely to see similar delays in the future.
