Miamisburg and Miami Township residents voted to approve a permanent, 11-mill property tax levy in the November election. Miami Valley Fire District will be getting increased revenue that will help it upgrade its facilities, apparatus and equipment.

The measure eliminates all existing fire-related tax levies in the city and township and replaces them with the new 11 mills, the report said.

Retired firefighters joined fire staff, city officials, family, friends, and community members Sunday to dedicate Fire Station 41, ToledoBlade.com reported. The celebration included pushing a truck into the station as well as remarks from fire and city officials, a ceremonial “hose” cutting, and an open house where the hundred or so in attendance could tour the facility.

While the community celebrated Sunday, the station will not be fully up and running and occupied by fire staff for several days, the report said. Supply chain issues have caused a delay in getting some furniture and equipment, a fire official said.

The new 20,000-square-foot building at 1040 South Wynn Road replaces the former station 41 located along Seaman Road.

The new station features a new training room and space for firefighters to change and clean equipment after a run, the report said. It also houses living quarters for on-duty crews, which was an essential aspect of the $6 million project, which was funded through bond financing, a city official said, according to the report.
