Fishers has had the same Fire Department HQ building for 28 years, but the old structure is undergoing demolition to allow for a new building next to City Hall.  The new headquarters building carries a  $9.4 million price tag, and will take 18 months to build.

The new station will provide additional space for firefighter living quarters, as well as functional work space.  The administration offices will still be a part of this station with additional space for management needs.

Firefighters stations at the headquarters have been relocated to the Indy Fuel apartments off 126th Street, which keeps the firefighters and equipment in the same response district.  This location keeps the response times unchanged for continuity of service.

Lt. Rich Nyberg takes the sledgehammer swing to the building
