From improvements on Elvis Presley Boulevard to expansion at Graceland, there are several major investments pouring into Whitehaven this year and now the community is expected to get a new fire station. The fire station was built in the 1970s and looks more like a house than a fire station.

Wheatfield Volunteer Fire Department needs to purchase a new pumper/tanker truck to replace its current one, a 1981 Peterbilt that's been labeled a "death trap" by mechanics. But Kankakee Township refuses to help pay for it while sitting on $1.6 million to build a new fire station.
