The City of Tyler Fire Department invites you to the Station 1 Open House on Feb. 7 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. There will be a ceremony and reception followed by station tours.
The newest Station 1, which will replace the original downtown Station 1, is built on six acres located at the corner of West Gentry Boulevard and Palace Street. The architect for both stations is Fitzpatrick Architects and Jacobe Brothers is the general contractor for this project. The building is a five bay, approximately 18,000 square foot structure. It will house the North Battalion Commander, Fire Engine 1, Fire Ladder 1, the Regional Hazardous Materials Trailer and pull vehicle and the Technical Rescue Trailer and pull vehicle. The station will be staffed with nine firefighters, including a battalion chief. It will also be the location of the Primary Emergency Operations Center.
