The community was given a sneak peak into the design for the new western Shawnee fire station during an open house on Thursday.
Shawnee fire chief John Mattox and several of the city’s firefighters were on hand at the meeting, which was held at Riverview Elementary School, to answer questions and offer insight into the new building.
The new Station 74 is proposed for 53rd Street and Woodsonia Drive; it will be roughly 9,000 square-feet.
It will feature six individual bunkrooms, a fitness room, a gear washing station, an expansive storage area and a community/training room, among other necessities and amenities.
“It will meet all of our needs now into the future,” Mattox told the Dispatch. “We’re excited to get started.”
