TRAVIS COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT NO. 2 ANNOUNCES TWO NEW FACILITIES IN PFLUGERVILLE

September 13, 2018

Pflugerville, Texas (August 2018) – Travis County Emergency Services District (ESD) No. 2 is adding service capabilities by constructing a new station to be located at 1541 Pflugerville Loop, Pflugerville, TX. Station 5 will include three eighty foot bays, sleeping quarters for ten as well as common and training spaces encompassing approximately 11,000 square feet. It will be located in an area of need and will decrease the workload of the nearby Station 2.

The ESD has also approved constructing a warehouse facility next to Station 4 which will consolidate the District’s ordering and receiving into one central location as well as provide for an air shop, offices and work space for the facilities maintenance staff. This facility will be approximately 10,000 square feet and will provide much needed storage for District supplies and equipment.

KAH Architects was selected by the ESD to provide design plans and Government Capital Corporation was selected for the financing.

“It is important that we continue to invest in facilities and equipment that will allow us to maintain a high level of responsiveness in this fast growing part of the county,” stated Ron Moellenberg, Fire Chief. “Government Capital provided the structure and terms that best met our requirements for these projects and worked with our staff to develop an effective plan.”

“I would like to congratulate the leadership of the Travis County ESD No. 2 and the Pflugerville Fire Department on continuing to respond to the growing needs in Pflugerville and Travis County,” stated Ed King, Government Capital Senior Vice President. “Their constituents are well served by one of the leading ESDs in the state”.

About Travis County ESD No. 2
Founded in 1955, the Pflugerville Volunteer Fire Department started with a small truck and shortly therea􀅌er land was purchased. In 1985 the voters approved the creation of Travis County Rural Fire Prevention District (RFPD) No. 3. Growth in the community and demand for services continued to increase thus allowing for the creation of Travis County Emergency Services District No. 2. Today, Travis County ESD No. 2 provides fire suppression, fire prevention, and first response emergency medical care covering 100 square miles with personnel and equipment working out of four fire stations 24 hours a day.

COVE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT SECURES CRITICALLY NEW, LIFE‐SAVING EQUIPMENT

April 30, 2018

Cove, Oregon (April 2018) ‐ The Cove Fire Protection District recently announced the purchase of new equipment to assist their unit during dangerous atmospheric situations. The new self‐contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) was obtained through a partnership with Cascade Fire Equipment of Medford, Oregon. Cove Fire Protection District selected Government Capital Corporation as the financing partner for their purchase.

“The tax exempt lease purchase was a simple and straightforward process. Government Capital walked me through each step and responded very quickly to our questions and needs,” stated Debra Hansen, EMS Captain.

“The bundled purchasing arrangement provided by Cascade Fire Equipment allowed Cove Fire Protection District to benefit greatly from the reduced equipment savings. Had they purchased in smaller quantities, their total price per unit would have ended up being much higher,” stated Jeff Lloyd of Cascade Fire Equipment.

“We were delighted to partner with Cove Fire Protection for the Department’s financing,” said Josh Rosser, Government Capital Corporation Client Manager. “I want to congratulate Captain Hansen and the Board for their foresight and leadership with upgrading equipment. This purchase will ensure the safety of the staff and will benefit the Department for many years. The financing partnership allowed the District to buy all their equipment at once which helped them take advantage of manufacturer volume discounts.“
