Fired up: Greendale Fire Department Ready to Move into New Station

GREENDALE - The fire department is slated to move into its new fire station Wednesday, June 28, after sharing quarters with the police department for more than a year. The new fire station is located adjacent to Greendale's Safety Center, 5911 W. Grange Ave., which houses the police department.

The new station boasts an area of about 18,000 square feet, most than double the space at the old fire station, which was around 7,000 square feet. (The old fire station, which was built in the 1960s, is now a Sendik’s Fresh2GO store.)


The estimated total cost of the station project is $5 million.

Orange County Moves Forward With First of Three New Fire Stations

Officials have secured the location for the first of three new fire stations slated to open in Orange County by next February. Station 67 will be built in an already developed, rapidly expanding part of northeast Orlando, at University Boulevard and Lake Twylo.

The construction of  Station 67 is part of Orange County’s major capital investment project, called INVEST in Our Home for Life. The $300 million initiative pours $30 million into construction, training, and new fire rescue equipment for five years.


Two more will be built with the funds; one in northeast Orlando in Avalon Park and the other in southeast Orlando, off Goldenrod Road and Silver Pointe Boulevard.
