The newest fire facility in Fairfield Twp. will support any growth in the department for the coming decades, as the department moves out of an undersized station.
It replaces the undersized Tylersville Road station 212, which includes part of a former 19th-century school building and needed special-order, smaller vehicles to fit inside.
“We’re building this building for the next 50 years,” said Fairfield Twp. Fire Chief Timothy Thomas. “Right now, everything has its place. Everything is up-sized for capacity. Trustees in May 2018 approved Cincinnati United Contractors to be the contractor for the $4 million project. The station has been discussed since 2006.
“It’s been years in the making,” said Trustee Shannon Hartkemeyer. “It’s been a team effort by the board, but especially by the township staff, to make this project happen.”
