The Wausau fire department’s 2nd district has a brand new station on the west side of town. This brand new fire department replaces and old one that dates back to the 1970s.
This one is modern.
“This is a day that will be remembered for a long, long time,” said Tracey Kujawa, Chief of the Wausau Fire Department.
The station has many amenities it didn’t have before. Like simply fitting the trucks into the building. The old station didn’t have doors as this new one has. “We didn’t have a ladder truck at the old station, we actually didn’t have room for it. And we actually have the ability to be able to put it out here now,” said Chief Kujawa.
“This will be the first station that provides us with the space that we need and the up to date amenities that we have,” says Wausau Mayor Katie Rosenberg.
