Check out our new neighbors on #Westmain There will be a small groundbreaking ceremony for the Downtown FIRE STATION No. 1 redevelopment tomorrow, March 9, 1pm, at 401 W Main St. Parking will be limited so if you plan to attend you may want to park in the city lot off of Oak and Abram and walk over. The two-story, 17,667-square-foot station replaces the old FIRE STATION No. 1, which originally opened in 1954. The new facility is designed to provide a better work and living space for Arlington’s firefighters. Features will include five larger, drive-thru apparatus bays that can hold more equipment, training areas and indoor and outdoor kennels for the Fire Department’s K9 Unit, a full kitchen and a dining room, and various offices. The station will also include a public space for community events and meetings as well as a museum area about the Arlington Fire Department’s history and accomplishments, and for visitors to see historical items up close, such as an antique fire engine.
