Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 01:32 · Archive

The City of Bismarck will build Fire Station #6 in south Bismarck, near Calypso Drive, costing about $6.5 million.

The City of Bismarck will build Fire Station #6 in south Bismarck, west of Washington Street near Calypso Drive, roughly half a mile south of the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project will cost about $6.5 million and will be funded with dollars previously identified by earlier commissions.

Fire Chief Joel Boespflug said the location selection was 'the result of data-driven decision making that will ultimately help bring the Fire Department's response times back under what we feel are appropriate thresholds for that far south part of Bismarck'. The city examined several locations along Washington Street and Burleigh Avenue using fire data and GIS mapping tools to reach its decision.

An additional fire engine and equipment will be placed in service in early 2027 to complement fire protection in the area.
