For the second time in about a month, the Chula Vista (CA) Fire Department opened a new station, reports sandiegouniontribune.com.

The $8.9 million, 13,000-square-foot Station 3, located at 100 Moss St. near Naples Street, replaces the 60-year-old facility that was formerly Station 9.

Much like the new Station No. 5 on Orange Avenue, Station 3 features roll-up doors, the ability to house modern fire equipment, four drive-through bays, and 10 bunk rooms.

West Memphis will have a grand opening for an all-new fire station, reports WMC 5.

The fire department posted to Facebook, “The ceremony also includes the official welcome of Engine No. 7, a brand new Pierce Mfg Enforcer Pumper! The new addition to the city’s fleet will undergo a ‘wetting,’ its first bath with its new department, and then be pushed into its bay by the firefighters.”

The fire station features a fitness center, larger living space and the latest technology and equipment for firefighters.

Preservationists prevented demolition when the fire station became a local landmark, reports WXOW.com.

The La Crosse Heritage Preservation Commission voted unanimously to designate the 1940 building as a city landmark. The current building is not usable for a current fire department and can only fit one vehicle.

A fire official said that the fire station has mold, asbestos, gender equity issues restrooms so expanding the fire station would not be an option.

Whatever happens next with the building is not up to the preservation alliance.
