The Plymouth City Council took a virtual walk-through of what fire stations 2 and 3 will look like once construction is completed in the summer of 2022.
Deputy Fire Chief Dave Dreelan provided the tour and outlined the next steps in the process during the council meeting Nov. 24.
Plans for the two stations began after a feasibility study in 2019 determined operational deficiencies and necessary upgrades to accommodate a full-time 24/7 staffing model.
At Fire Station 2, 12000 Old Rockford Rd., the existing 43-year-old building will be demolished and replaced with a new two-story fire station to provide adequate space for current functions as well as future growth.
The station will house offices for the administrative staff and firefighters, meeting spaces for department and public use, an indoor fitness area, quiet and relaxing residential spaces conducive to firefighters’ mental health, appropriate bay space to house all of the apparatus and equipment and interior and exterior training features allowing firefighters to train for certification on-site, according to CNH Architects.
