Champions is an area north of Houston along FM1960. It is close by to Ponderosa, Klein, Cypress Creek, etc. Their area is the original "Pierce Alley" in the Houston Metro area as most all of the department are all or heavily Pierce.



Champions recently built a new station and also received a '05 Pierce Dash 100' ladder tower in addition to the new twin Velocity pumpers.



JBrown can add details or correct where necessary.

Larry's info is correct. E11 will go inservice soon. E12 will be a couple of weeks. Pierce will be in for training this Mon through Wed in the day for the duty crew, Tue and Wed night for the volunteers. The new station doesn't open till the end of the year. Due to height restrictions at the current station, there is a possiblity of E12 going to Klein 34 to be housed there till the new station opens. There are several members at 34's that work at Champions duty crew. Details have yet to be worked out.



Here is a picture of the new station taken about a month ago.
