here has been some change recently in the neighborhood. No, it’s not the newly opened driving range on Renner and it’s not Frankie’s changing their name, although those are very exciting bits of change. It’s the fire station - and like many new houses in our neighborhood, it’s bigger, brighter, and we all drive by it slowly wanting to get a glimpse of the inside. While we can’t attend a grand opening party (yet), you can count on me to tell you everything I thought would be cool to know about Fire Station 3. Curtis Poovey, the Richardson Fire Department Fire Chief, started his career in Rowlett in 1986 as a reserve. He stayed there until 1993 when he was transferred to Richardson and started to work his way up to chief in January 2017. When the city of Richardson introduced the bond program in 2015, it was decided that the new fire station for district three would be included in the program. The original plan was www.CanyonCreekLifeMedia.com
