POINCIANA, Fla. – In a significant step toward enhancing public safety and emergency response capabilities, Osceola County has initiated the construction of a new fire station, Fire Station 85, marking a pivotal move to boost local firefighting efforts amidst the county’s surging population.
Fire Station 85 is poised to be a state-of-the-art facility, mirroring the design and functionality of other modern fire stations in the area. This development is especially timely, given the rapid population growth Osceola County has witnessed in recent years.
Slated for completion in 2024, Fire Station 85 symbolizes a significant leap forward in Osceola County’s emergency preparedness and response strategy. The station will serve as the new base of operations for firefighters currently stationed at Station 65 in Polk County, facilitating a closer proximity to the communities they serve within Osceola County.
