Fire Station No. 27 is gaining additional resources, including the urban search and rescue team.

The station, located on Douglas Avenue at Northwest Highway, will receive the USAR equipment from Fire Station No. 19 in October. It includes a rescue, engine, truck and USAR vehicle.

Truck 41 has been housed at Fire Station No. 27 since Station No. 41, the “Preston Royal Fire Department,” was destroyed by the tornado in 2019. The truck will move permanently to Station No. 44 in Fair Park in October, said Jason Evans, the public information officer for Dallas Fire-Rescue.
