The City of Vineland Fire Department, Mayor Anthony Fanucci, and members of the city council invite the public to attend the Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new Vineland Fire Department Headquarters and Station No. 6 at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, the city said in a Facebook post recently.
The station is located at 400 West Plum Street. The $20 million project was completed under budget and ahead of schedule. Guided tours of the new 38,000-square-foot, two-story building will be available following the ceremony.
Incorporating state-of-the-art technology and energy efficient construction, the Vineland Fire Department Headquarters will provide full operational capabilities for the city’s firefighters, as well as the fire department’s administrative offices, and basement storage. The main floor has a full kitchen, conference room, daytime administrative offices for the director, chiefs, and daytime officers, and a state-of-the-art training room. Also on the main floor are offices for the Fire Prevention Bureau.
The east end of the main building houses living quarters for full-time paid staff with eight drive-through engine bays for fire apparatus, and a vehicle maintenance area. A modern air slide replaces the old fireman’s pole from the second level.
