December 8, 2006

Renovations at Fire Station No. 7 will require the temporary relocation of crews and equipment beginning Monday, Dec. 11.

Crews and equipment from the station at 4000 Little Road will be relocating to Station No. 13 at 7100 Russell Curry Road and Station No. 14 at 5501 Ron McAndrew Drive.
The renovations are expected to take four to six months.

According to Arlington Assistant Fire Chief Brian Riley, approximately $800,000 in interior renovations will improve accommodations for male and female firefighters. The backup system for the 9-1-1 dispatch center will be renovated along with improvements in the area which houses the equipment and supplies for the Dive Rescue Team.
“When all renovations are complete, the layout of the station will become a lot more conducive to our day-to-day operations,” Riley said.

The improvements are funded by bond funds approved by Arlington voters in 2003. Earlier this year, similar renovations were completed at Fire Stations 6 and 8.
