According to an article printed at the time in the Austin American-Statesman from 1955, The Pflugerville Volunteer Fire Department was secured a fire station with a donation from the Pflugerville Schuetzen and Kegel Verein—a social hall which had no longer been in use—on the same land where ESD No. 2 offices sit today. Building the fire hall cost about $6,000. (Ref: https://www.pflugervillefire.org/images/pdf/communityimpactarticlemarch2012edition.pdf)
