Fire Apparatus Roll Out of New Troy (MI) Fire Station

Fire Apparatus Roll Out of New Troy (MI) Fire Station

It took 14 firefighters to move the 800-pound dining table from the old 5,116-square-foot fire station on Maple Road to the newly constructed $4 million, 10,500-square-foot Fire Station 4 next door.

Troy Fire Station 4 Lt. Shawn Hugg joked that the station was designed around the table.

During budget sessions in the spring of 2015, when the project was first considered, then-Fire Chief William Nelson, who passed away this spring, told the council that Station 4 is the second-busiest fire station in the city and the only one to house a heavy rescue unit. The station was built in 1968 and was expanded in 1988. The former station was the smallest fire station in the city.

During the grand opening for the new Fire Station 4 Aug. 22, Troy City Manager Brian Kischnick said Nelson would be proud. Station 4 is dedicated to Nelson.

Scottsdale (AZ) Upgrading, Replacing Fire Stations to Boost Response Times

Nearly two years after Scottsdale voters approved a $16.35 million public-safety bond, the city is renovating one fire station and replacing three others. The projects should improve citywide response times. Two of the stations are in south Scottsdale, and two are in the more sparsely populated north.

The fire department's average response time citywide was 5 minutes and 36 seconds last fiscal year, according to city records. Executive Assistant Fire Chief Ryan Freeburg said he'd like to see the city shave six seconds off that average with the new stations.

Only one of the four stations being renovated or replaced beat the 5-minute-30-second-goal last fiscal year.
