The first newly-built fire station in St. Paul in 15 years officially opened Tuesday, replacing a building that dated to 1930.
The $12 million station in Dayton’s Bluff has room for more emergency vehicles and firefighters than the old station, which will mean they can have a bigger impact on the East Side, said Assistant Fire Chief Jeramiah Melquist. It was also constructed with firefighter health and wellness in mind.
“This is more than just a building,” said Fire Chief Butch Inks. “It’s … a promise that help is never far away. … When lives are on the line, seconds matter.”
