Construction is continuing to move forward on the 3,700-square-foot addition to the Princeton Fire Station.
The expansion is designed to improve the department's operational efficiency and provide the additional space needed to serve the community for years to come.
Princeton Fire Chief Scott Ethridge said the need for the project became evident after a comprehensive assessment of the department's facilities.
"The original fire station garage was built in 1978," Ethridge said. "The decision to expand the existing station followed an assessment by IFCA Assessment & Consulting Services, which recommended improving the facility's layout to reduce emergency response times. The study also found that the department had outgrown the current Fire Station/City Hall configuration."
The addition is expected to provide a more efficient layout for firefighters, helping them respond more quickly to emergency calls while addressing the space limitations of the existing station. Features inside include Chief and Deputy Chiefs' offices, a climate-controlled gym, sleeping quarters, kitchen, and day room, and two full bathrooms. If construction remains on schedule, city officials plan to host an open house during Fire Prevention Week in October to showcase the completed addition.
