During an open house, firefighters provided tours through the station, pointing out such features as its bunk rooms, work out area, and a state of the art kitchen. The station also has a police annex. Response times have been reduced by about three minutes, according to the department's chief. Staffing for the station is nine firefighters in each of three shifts.

The fire department has been in the planning stages for more than a year, forming a capital replacement committee to review proposals and pricing from multiple manufacturers.
