The city will break ground on construction on the last of four new fire stations Monday. According to information from the Flagstaff Fire Department, the groundbreaking for Fire Station No. 2 will be 1:30-2:30 p.m. at the intersection of East Route 66 and Enterprise Boulevard behind Jiffy Lube.

The relocation of four of the city's six fire stations was made in response to the city's anticipated growth in the future and to improve response times for emergency calls. The station relocations were made possible through a bond initiative approved by voters in 2004. The stations, along with classrooms and a training center, will cost $19.6 million. Three of the relocated stations have already been built and are located on Thompson Street off West Route 66, Fort Valley Road near Sechrist Elementary School and Country Club Drive near the Purina plant.
