A new, 12,600 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility just broke ground in New Tecumseth.

Shovels officially touched down Tuesday marking the start of Fire Station #4. The town hopes this modern facility will continue to strengthen emergency response and fire safety within the community.

The new fire station, now located at 6365 14th Line, will be the town’s fourth municipal station and the second in Alliston, expanding coverage and improving response times for all residents.

“This important project reflects the Town’s commitment to public safety, ensuring top-tier fire rescue services for all residents,” said New Tecumseth Mayor Richard Norcross.

Before deciding on the site location the town conducted a thorough site suitability review, assessing servicing needs, traffic impact, and financial feasibility.

The chosen spot, adjacent to the existing sports field and Public Works yard, was notably the best fit to support efficient fire operations.

“Fire Station #4 will enhance emergency preparedness and response capabilities for high-growth areas. It will be a one-storey facility with three drive-through apparatus bays, firefighter dormitories, training and meeting rooms, administrative offices, a kitchen and dining area, equipment maintenance and decontamination spaces,” shared members of the town.

The new facility is set to support faster response times, strengthen emergency preparedness. It is scheduled for completion in late 2026 or early 2027, according to town officials.
