New Orlando Fire Station Opens

New Orlando Fire Station Opens

A new modern Orlando fire station in the downtown neighborhood of Parramore opened Wednesday after a ribbon-cutting.

The Orlando Fire Station 2 is an LEED-certified building that features new technology to help firefighters better serve their community, according to the City of Orlando Fire Department.

The 12,000-square-foot station, known as the "Pride of Parramore" is at the corner of West Robin Street and Harnes Avenue.

Construction on the project was delayed when builders discovered car waste on the lot, which required a $2 million cleanup, reported the Orlando Sentinel.
