Proposed street facade of the Hurst fire station headquarters with three illuminated apparatus bays

The story / 433 Precinct Line Road

A station. A city.
A Marine.

Every building has a first life. This one spent its answering calls. The story here is about what a place like that deserves next.

01 / The station's first life

Before a headquarters,
a place of service.

The apparatus bays, the kitchen, the rooms behind them: 433 Precinct Line Road was built around the work of serving Hurst. A fire station holds more than equipment. It gives a community a place to locate a powerful idea—that people will show up for one another.

The photographs preserve the physical evidence of that first purpose: room for engines, a place to share a meal, and spaces for the people on duty. Those details matter. This is not an anonymous vacant building; it is a piece of Hurst’s civic life.

Adaptive reuse begins with respect for what is already here. The question is not how to erase the firehouse. It is how to give a place built for service a useful next life.

02 / The founder

Service doesn't end.
It takes a different form.

Andy Williams is a Marine veteran and the founder of Rehab Warriors. His journey from military service to real estate and veteran-led development is the human story behind this building.

Rehab Warriors positions veterans as project engineers, owners, and change-makers—not as laborers. That distinction is the heart of this story. Veterans are not just being invited to do the work; they are being equipped to help lead it, build businesses, and shape what a community becomes.

The fire station is a home for that larger purpose. A place to develop ideas, bring partners to the table, make room for veteran voices, and carry a project from vision into delivery. Rehab Warriors is self-performing its transformation—a concrete expression of a mission much bigger than one renovation.

03 / The partnership

Hurst made room.
We carry the responsibility.

This was not the first time Hurst showed up in the Rehab Warriors story. The city was spotlighted three times in Andy and Ashley Williams's HGTV work: the Pleasant View pilot, 201 Fanning, and 628 Willow. The city already knew what this team could do with a house that needed a second chance.

The City of Hurst provided the former station to Rehab Warriors as an economic-development incentive. The partnership connects a civic asset with a new headquarters purpose. Rehab Warriors is self-performing the transformation; this site makes the existing place and proposed direction visible to the community.

The opportunity is local and tangible: keep a familiar building useful, give veteran-led development a home, and carry Hurst’s investment in the place into its next chapter. That is the promise of the project—not a claim that the work or its impact is already complete.

04 / Carrying the place forward

Keep the character.
Make room for the people.

The proposed design works with the station's identity, not against it. The scale of the bays remains. Glass brings in light. Rooms once shaped around station life are reimagined around the everyday needs of Rehab Warriors — a classroom for shared learning, a podcast studio for veteran voices, a kitchen and a break room for the crew, a conference room where partners sit down together.

05 / The next tour of duty

A building that served Hurst.
A team that will keep serving.

There is a symmetry here that doesn't need embellishing. A building that spent its life in service is being brought back by people whose lives are built on service. Rehab Warriors is self-performing the transformation, bringing responsibility for the work together with a vision for the place it will become.

The photographs show where this story starts; the renderings show the direction. Neither needs to pretend the work is finished. This is a place to follow the project, see the care going into it, and watch a familiar Hurst building find its next purpose.
