South Peoria (IL) Fire Station Construction Continues

Progress is being made on fire station construction, reports HOIABC.com.

Officials say the fire station will be a one story building with space for two fire trucks and living quarters for six firefighters. The new building will include features for modern firefighting, and safety improvements like gear washing and solar panels.

The new fire station is intended to compensate for the loss of two fire stations due to budget cuts.

The new station was set to open in November of this year, but due to delays getting the materials to start the construction process, that date has been pushed back to February 2022.
