Decatur fire station #4 located at 2760 N. 22nd St. will be closed April 25th through May 11th 2017 to allow for construction as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to update local fire stations.
During the period of closure, the station 4 crew will operate out of fire station #2 located at 2707 E. William Street.
In 2016 the Decatur City Council approved agreements for work to begin making critical improvements to the city’s fire stations, public service facilities with an average age of almost 51 years and marked by significant maintenance and location constraints. Unfortunately, over time some stations have fallen into disrepair and today are marked by plumbing deficiencies, leaky roofs, structural issues and consistent HVAC failures while some of the older facilities are not able to accommodate new equipment.
