“We extend our sincere gratitude to the fire district residents for their unwavering support,” said fire district representatives. “This new facility will ensure that our volunteers have the tools, space, and training environment they need to continue serving with excellence.”

Once completed, the new Thiells Roseville Fire Station 26-100 will significantly improve emergency response capabilities and house the latest in fire service technology and training resources. The station will also provide ample space for equipment and apparatus, ensuring faster mobilization during critical incidents.

This investment reflects the district’s long-term commitment to protecting lives and property while supporting the volunteer firefighters who selflessly serve the community every day.
