Five acres of land off of Brown Street will allow officers to train on structural fires and learn more about the behavior of fires. The city is in the process of coming to a five year agreement to get this site up and operating. Both the department and the community will benefit from this new training site.

What's described as "substantial completion" of the fire station - the point at which fire department personnel may begin the moving process and using it - was originally to be Nov. 1 but because of weather, Petrowski said that's been extended to Friday, Nov. 3. 

He said a walk-through of the facility was conducted for members of the fire department Monday. 

Petrowski said with all the things that need to be done as of today, the move will begin the week of Nov. 6. 

"We're going to take that week to get all our stuff done," he said. "Get our lockers put in there, get our furniture in there and do the things we need to do."
