Rochester Hills Spending $4.2M On Fire Station Renovation
Renovations will double the size of the Walton Road facility. Services will not be interrupted during construction.
ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Larger bays for fire trucks, separate men’s and women’s sleeping and shower areas, and a new kitchen are part of a $4.2 renovation for Rochester Hills’ Fire Station No. 4 on Walton Boulevard. Work is expected to be completed in about a year and was long overdue for the 1976-built facility, according to a C & G Newspaper report.
The old apparatus bays are “very tight,” Rochester Hills Fire Chief Sean Canto said. “We have to pull the trucks out to open their doors.”
All services from the fire station will continue throughout the renovation process, Canto said. “Responses out of station will not be impeded, and service to the community will continue,” he said.
