Future plans
A new Station No. 1 is under construction at the corner of Fourteenth St. North and Mellick Ave. The new building will be occupied by February 2011. Once the new fire station is completed, Station #3 is scheduled to close as the new station will serve both areas.

In addition, the current 1978 aerial truck will be replaced with a new aerial truck as the new station can accomodate larger apparatus.
