The 15,000-square-foot facility, which replaces a firehouse built in 1959, has larger apparatus bays; a bunkroom that can accommodate up to 18 crew members; and a social hall will be built adjacent to it in the future.

A $2.5 million loan provided in July 2020 kept the project moving when it stalled.
