The city of Trussville (AL) plans to build a new Fire Station 4, reports trussvilletribune.com.

City officials say the new facility will incorporate a traditional look of red brick and stone to complement not only the stacked rock on the gazebo across from City Hall but also many architectural designs in the local area, the report says.

The plan—which pulls from the city’s 2040 Plan—is to move all fire administration offices together. The report notes that Trussville has received approval from City Council to look for the best course of action to build the facility.

Officials say some environmental studies have already taken place on the project, and they’re fairly certain everything should be a go—though some changes may need to be made.

The Absecon (NJ) Fire Department is holding a firehouse dedication, parade, and push-in ceremony today, Saturday, reports pressofatlanticcity.com.

The parade is set for noon at the Field of Dreams Park at 1000 Morton Ave.; it will then proceed to Highland Boulevard and end at 544 New Jersey Ave.—the new firehouse.

A ceremony and celebration at the station will follow the parade from 1 to 5 p.m., and it will include live entertainment, kids’ activities, and food trucks.

The new $5.9 million firehouse was completed in late 2020; its predecessor was razed in April.

The Lebanon (OR) Fire District has chosen Emerick Construction as a construction manager/general contractor for its $13.6 million Station 31 project, reports democratherald.com. Emerick Construction joins alongside Rice Fergus Miller, the architectural firm hired in late 2020.

Emerick will also submit a guaranteed maximum price which will provide an extra layer of fiscal responsibility, according to the report.

Demolition plans were set to begin this summer, but Fire Apparatus reported at the time that there were delays. Now, demolition is projected to begin in spring 2022, with a completion date still anticipated in summer 2023.

Lebanon voters approved a 26-year, $16-million bond for the district in November 2019, the report says.
