Welland-New Fire and Emergency Service- HQ

The new fire station is operational 24/7 and includes four drive-thru bays, training facilities, amenity facilities for fire station staff and office space for their administrative headquarters staff. Construction and site work was completed in September 2022, achieving a 55 per cent improvement above the National Energy Code on performance with an estimated return on investment of approximately eight years. The site is also responsible for the retention of storm water hence a storm water management pond was constructed. As a result, water used in firefighter training will recirculate to the pond and can be used repeatedly. Additionally, the berm at the rear of the site provides significant environmental benefits, including being seeded with native species to support the local habitat, reducing soil diversion to landfills, and providing a sound barrier.
