Fayetteville (AR) Seeks New Fire Station

The University of Arkansas amended the Fayetteville Fire Department today to discuss possible locations for a new station.

The fire department said they want to replace an old station off of garland avenue.

They are meeting with the university to figure out where response times are more than six minutes. They’re considering building a new station to replace the older one.

The fire chief says it is too early to tell how much it will cost or how the project will be funded.

The university does not want to raise student fees and that there a lot of factors to consider.

The next step is to go over response times in the area for each location and meet again next month.
