Caldwell officials are set to relocate and rebuild Fire Station One. It’s just one of many anticipated projects made possible from the passing of a 17.3 million dollar bond last November.

Fire Chief Richard Frawley has presented three main options for the station’s future. The first involves moving operations to three separate locations: the old City Hall site, the current police department, and the fire administration building.

The second option proposes renovating the existing station, adding a new bay to accommodate growth, and relocating the administration staff.

The third option is to build a new station on city-owned property on Chicago Street. The city council has asked the fire department to provide detailed cost estimates for each option so they can thoroughly evaluate which choice will best serve the community’s future needs.

  • Caldwells oldest fire station, station is possibly relocating.
  • The station has been serving the community since 1966.
  • Fire Station one has had three renovations since.
