A Racine fire station is expected to be relocated from 16th Street to a park near Durand Avenue. Fire Station No. 6, 2101 16th St., was built in 1975, according to Fire Chief Steve Hansen. It was constructed according to residential standards and was not meant to be used for more than 10 years as the fire station, he said by email. With changes in the community, such as increased coal train traffic to the Oak Creek power plant, Hansen said it is time to move the station. City officials said this week that the station will be moved to Case-Harmon Park, 2724 Hamilton Ave., a five-acre area on the southeast side of Racine.
