Jeffersontown officials held a groundbreaking ceremony for the planned $7.3 million fire station, WDRB.com reported Wednesday.

The new fire station, the fourth for the town, will be located on Taylorsville Road near Interstate 265. It will feature a two-story building with three large arches outside and a large kitchen, recreation center and eight dorms inside, the report said.

The new fire house is expected to open in December 2023.

Spokane Fire Department has determined the cause of this early morning house fire resulted from improperly discarded smoking materials that were left on the front porch. SFD says the people inside of the home were alerted to the fire when the front window broke due to the fire on the outside of the house.
