</span>
<p><span><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Plans for a new fire station in town cleared its final hurdle Monday as the Flower Mound Town Council voted, 4-0, to approve a site plan for the facility.&nbsp; </font></span></p>
<p><span><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Fire Station No. 4, which is expected to be 10,240 square feet, will be located at 4601 Bridlewood Blvd.&nbsp; </font></span></p>
<p><span><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Fire Chief Eric Metzger said ground could be broken by January.<br />
<br />
Efforts for the new station began in 1992 when the council approved an ordinance to provide a fire station within the planned development. The issue was placed on a capital improvement plan and finally made its way to the forefront three years ago during a workshop.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Bridlewood and Wellington have grown now to where we have a substantial number of rooftops to protect,&rdquo; Metzger previously said in the Leader. &ldquo;So it&rsquo;s essential to provide a place where we can have sufficient response times.&rdquo;<br />
