Lake Travis Fire Rescue moved into its new administrative offices after their original offices on General Williamson Drive burned last August.

Since then, all the administrative functions, including the executive offices and fire prevention, have had to make do using a small space in one of the department's stations.

Now they have a permanent home just off Highway 620 in Lakeway with room to grow.

"Our other office was an add-on to an add-on," Assistant Chief Robert Abbot said. "It really showed us growing in various stages throughout the years. A lot of folks were working on top of each other. The office space was shared and it wasn't very efficient. This is much more efficient and provides the public easier access to the prevention division, which they commonly use every day."

Fire administrators began the move about a week ago. They don't have any signs up yet but hope to remedy that soon.
