A new $4 million fire station is serving Liberty Lake.
The Spokane Valley Fire Department celebrated the opening of a three-door firehouse in a ceremony Monday, about eight months after construction began. Dozens of city leaders from Liberty Lake and Spokane Valley gathered Monday for the ceremony, which included words from fire Chief Brian Collins.
“I can’t say enough about the pleasure and partnership we have with the city,” he said to the dozens in the crowd. “They’re just incredible to work with.”
Collins said the 11,000-square-foot facility at 21300 E. Country Vista Drive will have a full-time paramedic on hand and will serve as the department’s storage facility for breathing apparatuses. It also has a wraparound driveway leading to garage doors in the back, which allows firefighters to enter the garage without holding up traffic.
