The Grand Junction (CO) Fire Department yesterday morning broke ground on its new Station 3, in the parking lot south of the current Fire Station 3, located at 582 25 ½ Road.

Station 3 is the department’s oldest station—it’s been around since 1975—and it’s also one of the busiest, the report says. So more room is needed at the station for future growth.

The new facility will include modern safety upgrades, including cancer-prevention features found in other stations.

The department partook in a land exchange with School District 51 to be able to build Station 3 in its new location—and Pomona Elementary School’s parking lot will be rebuilt in the station’s old location.
