NWFD Breaking Ground on New Station


Northwest Fire Rescue District will be breaking ground for a new fire station in July. The expansion of the housing communities on the northwest side of town and Marana have necessitated the construction of another fire station in order to maintain the high levels of service and response times to 911 calls. Station #39 will be NWFD’s tenth station. NWFD also has an additional station and a training facility also in the works.

The new fire station is being constructed on land donated to the fire district by the owner of the Villagio development on N. Thornydale in conjunction with bonds approved by the voters as part of the 2004 bond program. Station 39 will also be a “green” building showing that NWFD is a good steward of the environment in addition to the public’s safety.

Station #39 will be an 8673 square foot station with the ability to house a crew of seven. It is currently slated to be the home to an engine and an ambulance. The new station will be located at 12095 N. Thornydale Rd and have a target date to be fully operational in July of 2010.

NWFD will be hosting a groundbreaking ceremony in July 2009, the exact time and date will be posted on Facebook once set.
