Fire Chief John Mattox led the tour on Sept. 4, guiding the group from room to room of the roughly 9,000 square-foot building, which is being constructed at 53rd Street and Woodsonia Drive.  

Nearly half complete, the main structure of the building is constructed, with interior and exterior finishes, and electrical and plumbing in the works. The new station will feature six individual bunkrooms, a fitness center, a gear washing station, an expansive storage area and a community/training room.
