The Simms Volunteer Fire Department held the grand opening of their newest station house Saturday. Station 2 is located on U.S. Hwy 67 near the intersection of Texas State Hwy 98. The second station will allow faster response times for residents in their service area. Having multiple stations helps lower a community’s Insurance Services Office number which inturn helps lower homeowners’ insurance premiums. Station 1 of the SVFD is located in the Siloam Community at Farm to Market roads 990 and 561.
