Albuquerque Fire Rescue is working toward the biggest public safety expansion the city has seen in decades, krqe.com reported

The city said it already acquired funding to build a new fire station in the fastest growing part of the city with plans to break ground on a new station in southwest Albuquerque near 98th and Blake, the report said.
