The new station sits between Elm and Rose streets. Integrated Architecture and EV Construction developed the facility, which includes drive-through bays, private sleeping rooms and fitness space for firefighters.
Mayor David LaGrand, City Manager Mark Washington and Fire Chief Brad Brown were among officials at the opening. The city describes faster neighborhood responses as an expected benefit; its announcement does not provide measured response-time results or a revised service-area map.
The release confirms an opening, not a future construction proposal. It does not announce a resident application, fee change or service-registration requirement.
