Station 9 of the Amarillo Fire Department is relocating to a brand new home.
Â
“There were some calls that we were not able to reach in our target times over in the northern area,” said Sam Baucom, Deputy Fire Chief with the Amarillo Fire Department. “This was one of the optimal locations for a new fire station or relocation."
The station, one of the oldest in the city with outdated systems and structures, will be moving from 34th and Western to a brand new spot near Paramount and I-40, thanks to a unanimous vote by the city council.
