The Kennedale Fire Department is excited to share an update on our fire station progress. Flooring is being completed, and while there are still many areas to address inside the building, you will notice the outside areas of the station coming to a finish. Signage is being fabricated and soon will be on the building, giving it the Kennedale Fire Station 59 identity. KFD expects to be returning home by June 8. We are looking forward to being available in the neighborhood and our community.

Stay tuned as we start our countdown and plan for a grand reopening celebration for all to attend.
