The Central Station was built in 1999 to replace the the original station in old Bracken that had been outgrown and was located in the corner of the service area, delaying response time. It has eight vehicle bays, a dormitory, showers, and kitchen for continuous operations, and a propane emergency generator to support all station electrical, communications and water (well) requirements for up to a week.

Station 2 was built in 1985 on FM 482 near Comal Elementary School to improve response times throughout the service area. It has two bays, but only very basic support facilities.
