City Breaks Ground on Fire Station for West Pullman
Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot recently joined the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) and the Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) to break ground on the Engine Company 115 fire station in the South Side’s West Pullman neighborhood. The new facility will be the second-largest fire station in the city.
Managed by the PBC, the design and construction of the $30-million project will be led by the minority-led firm, UJAMAA/Trice Joint Venture. The 27,000-square-foot, single-story fire station will house approximately 20 firefighters/EMTs and eight officers.
Additionally, the facility will feature an emergency communication hub, watchtower, open office spaces and a four-bay apparatus room with a hose drying tower.
Anticipated to be open by summer 2020, the new fire station will be built on vacant land located at 119th Street and Morgan Street. It replaces the existing Engine Company 115 at 11940 S. Peoria St.
