The space can house four firefighters, though current staffing levels are only at three, with firefighters working 24-hour shifts.  

Voters passed a five-year fire levy in 2016, which brings in roughly $1.4 million a year — used to halt layoffs and secure revenue for the department, per previous reporting. A $1.5 million bond was taken out in 2017 to pay for new east and west side stations, but plans have stalled since then. The new east side station will cost an estimated $790,095, plus an additional $31,000 for a pull-through bay.  

These engine companies will have at least one system certified Fire/Paramedic allowing them the ability to provide advanced life-saving interventions.  

This ability gives the patient the best chance of surviving a major medical event, the fire department said. The PFD is collaborating with Peoria Area Emergency Medical Services and AMT in the endeavor.

According to dispatchers, one of the fire engines with the Davis Creek Volunteer Fire Department overturned just off Route 119 on Coal River Road around 1 a.m.  

No injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
