Future Central Fire Station Design Nears Completion

The City has finalized its preliminary exterior design of the future Central Fire Station. During the Dec. 9 Council meeting, Architect Jim Tharp presented the current renderings of the station, which will be located next to the Law Enforcement Center, off L. Don Dodson Drive.

The new station will have expanded living quarters, a training room, larger bays for the apparatuses (fire trucks, engines, etc.), kitchen and dining spaces, work out area, and offices for fire administration. Since it will be next to the Law Enforcement Center, the Law Enforcement Center will also get a facelift to be complimentary with the architecture of the fire station.

Construction should start late summer 2026 with an estimated completion date of late 2027.
