Groundbreaking today for eastside fire station

Today the city ceremoniously broke ground at 4501 Campbell Airstrip Road, the future home of Anchorage's new fire station 14. Public safety is the city's number one priority. This new fire station will put the local residents served within our four minute response time goal for the city. Construction of the fire station is expected to cost around $3.5 million. The funding for the building came from a voter approved bond in April of 2002. The station is expected to be complete by December of 2003.
