SPRINGFIELD — Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly implied that one of the new fire stations had been built.

Springfield Fire Rescue Division is getting ready to break ground on the first of four new fire stations.

The 16,221-square foot station will be equipped with:

• Three SFRD drive-through bays
• Two bays for Clark State College
• Seven single-person dorm rooms
• 28-seat shared training and classroom space
• Four office workspaces

“This state-of-the-art facility is designed to meet the emergency services needs of a growing community,” said City Manager Bryan Heck. “Fire station #2 will also bring us in step with staffing demands as well, bringing services and training together in one location, and accommodating a more diversified team.”

SFRD #2 will have its groundbreaking ceremony on November 9th at 2040 S. Limestone Street.
