Station 2 Project Updates
Construction is underway for the Matlacha/Pine Island Fire Control District Station 2 project, located at 5015 Stringfellow Road, St. James City, FL. This important project will provide our community with a modern, resilient fire station designed to better support our firefighters and emergency response needs. We look forward to sharing the progress of this project with you along the way. Please check back below for periodic construction updates, photos, and project milestones as Station 2 takes shape!
NOTE: This site will continue to operate as a working fire station, providing the same services to the community. Crews and equipment will be housed in temporary facilities throughout the construction process on site.
Our Station 2 project is taking shape! Today, the perimeter was cleared, and silt fencing will be installed as we move forward.
This project has been in the works for some time as we worked diligently to secure grant funding. We are proud to have been awarded a $5.6 million Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grant through Lee County, funded by HUD following Hurricane Ian.
This achievement would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts and support of the Matlacha/Pine Island Fire Control District Board of Commissioners and staff, as well as the Lee County Board of Commissioners and staff. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this project a reality.
As construction progresses, the location will also have a temporary fire station trailer in place to ensure we can continue providing uninterrupted fire and emergency medical services to the area throughout the project.
We’re excited to see Station 2 become a reality and serve our community for years to come!
We will announce an official groundbreaking ceremony in the near future. Stay tuned!
We are excited to share an important update on the progress of our new Fire Station 2!
The property for our new Station 2 has officially been cleared, and site work will begin soon. This marks an exciting milestone as we move forward with the construction of a new, modern, and resilient fire station designed to better serve our community for years to come.
Temporary Fire Station
As construction gets underway, we are also preparing for the arrival of our temporary fire station trailer. The trailer is expected to be delivered within the next few weeks and will allow us to maintain fire and emergency services in the area while the new Station 2 is being constructed.
We are excited to watch this important project take shape and look forward to keeping our community informed as we reach additional milestones throughout construction.
Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work toward a new Station 2 that will help provide reliable, modern, and resilient emergency services for our community.
