An engine from Station 24 rolled out of its bay for the first time this week, marking the first new firefighting operation in Lexington in over a decade. The station opened on Monday morning with a tradition: Before driving to their first call, firefighters pushed their engine into Station 24’s brand new firehouse. The moment was captured on the Lexington Fire Department’s social media. Later in the day, officials with the Lexington Fire Department watched Station 24’s engine roll out to its first emergency call “like proud parents on the first day of school.” The new station is located on Magnolia Springs Drive and will service Masterson Station as well as the surrounding residential areas. Construction for the station started over a year ago in February 2018.
