On the morning of Friday December 18th Hutto Fire/Rescue participated in the testing of the standpipe systems in four of the six new 4 story apartments in the new Mansions at Star Ranch complex located at 605 Winterfield street. The complex will include 2, 3 and 4 story apartment buildings. The testing also gave Hutto Fire/Rescue personnel a first hand look at and confidence in the buildings built in fire protection systems. The testing took approximately 3 and a half hours to complete.
