A new fire station will be built next to the Coles District Fire and Rescue Department.
A groundbreaking for the 21,400 square-foot replacement fire and rescue station on Route 234 on 13712 Dumfries Road near Independent Hill will be held at 10 a.m. Aug. 14. When it opens, the new station will house a heavy rescue, tanker, a basic life-support ambulance, and a truck to battle brush fires.
The Prince William County Fire and Rescue Department will continue to operate its HAZMAT unit from the new Coles station, too.
