The Kuna Rural Fire District will soon have a new station — the location of Fire Station #2 has been finalized along W. Kuna Road and the process to get the station built is underway.
- The new fire station will be built on a two acre plot at 2021 W. Kuna Road.
- A crew of three firefighters will staff Station #2 — improving response times to parts of Kuna south of the railroad tracks.
- The next steps are getting those two acres that are currently in Ada County annexed into the City of Kuna — along with taking soil samples and working with civil engineers.
- Groundbreaking on the project is expected to start in early 2025 with the goal of the station being operation by the end of 2025.

“Currently here in Kuna for a population over 30,000 now, we have just the one fire station,” says Kuna Fire Chief T.J. Lawrence.
He and his staff of 18 firefighters are getting a new station.
“This location where we’re standing here today it’s going to be the location of Fire Station #2 for us,” says Lawrence.
