Members of the old volunteer fire department and members of the Old Settlers Association turn the dirt at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new firehouse museum May 13.

One of Round Rock’s historic icons will finally have a home. A 1938 Ford fire engine that was used by the Round Rock Volunteer Fire Department until the 1970s will be housed in a new vintage-inspired firehouse at the Old Settlers Association grounds at 3300 E. Palm Valley Blvd. in Round Rock. The building will also house an old pump truck used by the fire department, as well as other firehouse memorabilia.

Cool New Paramedic Drama Coming This Fall To NBC!

Looks awesome! Hope it does well!



One-hour drama

Like an adrenaline shot to the heart, Trauma is an
intense, action-packed look at one of the most dangerous medical professions in
the world: first responder paramedics. When emergencies occur, the trauma team
from San Francisco General is first on the scene, traveling by land, by sea or
by air to reach their victims in time. From the heights of the Transamerica
Pyramid to the depths of the S.F. Bay, our heroes must face the most extreme
conditions to save lives, and give meaning to their own existence in the
process.

From executive producer Peter Berg (Friday Night
Lights), Trauma is the first high-octane medical franchise to live exclusively
in the field, where the real action is.
