Littleton Fire Station Expansion Project Progresses

The Littleton Fire Station expansion project on Foster Street will be completed in December 2017. Work is progressing at the Littleton Fire Station expansion project on Foster Street with everything continuing on schedule and on budget. "The fire station project is making great progress and all trades continue to move forward in a positive manner," Littleton Fire Chief Scott Wodzinski said.

The expansion project is expected to be completed in December 2017.

Town officials hosted a groundbreaking ceremony at the Foster Street station on a snowy Saturday in December 2016 and work began that month. Since then, the four new apparatus bays facing Wilderness Road have been erected as well as the new training room.

Fire/EMS Purchases Land for New Station

The land that once housed a popular restaurant south of Jackson will be the new location of Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Station 3. The purchase was made official June 30, Battalion Chief Matt Redwine said. The price tag came in at just under $1.3 million.

Jackson Hole Fire/EMS outgrew its Hoback fire station years ago, Redwine said. And because the property at Hoback Junction is deed restricted, purchasing land that is not gives the department options to expand and even include employee housing.
