Some in the community may have noticed that our substation on Edgecliff Road is currently listed for sale. We want to take a moment to explain what this means and how it benefits the residents we proudly serve.
For over a year now, our department has been operating out of our main station near Bon Air. What began as a temporary solution to offset apparatus being out of service has transitioned to a permanent operational change—and the results have been overwhelmingly positive. By consolidating operations, we have seen improved response times, stronger staffing levels, and increased overall efficiency, all of which directly benefit the community.
All equipment that was previously housed at the Edgecliff station has been relocated to our main station, ensuring nothing has been lost in our ability to respond effectively.
Additionally, as part of our long-term planning, we sold our rescue truck last year after placing our tower into service to right size our fleet for the needs of our citizens into the future. Looking ahead, we are expecting delivery of our new rescue engine by the end of 2027 to complete this effort.
The proceeds from the sale of the Edgecliff property, along with reduced operating expenses from running a single station, will be directly reinvested into this new apparatus, helping us continue providing the highest level of service.
We remain committed to protecting our community with professionalism, efficiency, and dedication—and we appreciate your continued support.
For those interested in the listing, the link will be posted in the comments.
