There’s a new fire station coming to Pasco County after city officials hosted a groundbreaking event Tuesday afternoon, WTSP.com reported.

Fire Station No. 20, located at 15900 Little Ranch Road in Spring Hill, is a 16,046 square-foot, state-of-the-art, four-bay fire station that highlights firefighter health, safety, and wellness, the report said.

In a press release, the fire department said Station 20 is the latest fire station in the county to boast a “unique hot, warm, and cold zone design aimed at reducing firefighter cancer rates.” The zones will reportedly let firefighters clean carcinogens off their bodies before entering the fire station’s living quarters.

The Montana Board of Regents approved a utility easement for the construction of a new fire station during its Tuesday meeting, BozemanDailyChronicle.com reported.

The regents approved a utility easement to Northwestern Energy for the construction of Bozeman Fire Station 2 near the intersection of Kagy Boulevard and Seventh Avenue. Construction is slated to start in spring 2023, the report said.

The easement lets the energy company provide electrical power to the fire station instead of relying on MSU utilities, according to the report. A lease between the city and MSU for the fire station land was previously approved.
