The doors of the new Fire Station 41 in Deer Park are almost ready to swing open, a move that is anticipated by both Spokane County Fire District 4 and the community.
The five-door drive-thru truck bay is cavernous enough to fit 10 engines inside, but it’s the community room and public space that local residents are eagerly awaiting.
“We’ve had people asking for a year,” said Fire Chief Randy Johnson.
The new station on Crawford Road replaces the much older and much smaller station across the street next to the Deer Park City Hall. The station is owned by the city and the district has been leasing it, Johnson said.
