$10.2 million approved for new fire station in western Prince William

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Tuesday approved the funds for the new fire and rescue station.

  • The construction of Fire and Rescue Station 22, awarded to V.F. Pavone Construction Company with a $10.25 million bid. 
  • The station will be located at 7500 Century Park Drive, off Balls Ford Road.
  • The project completion date is May 2021.

The new fire station was set to improve response times in the west end of the County.

Designed by LeMay, Erickson, and Wilcox Architects, the station will be a one-story building of 19,000 square feet, with a pumper, rescue unit, collapse unit, and an Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance, and complete with sleeping quarters, kitchen, dining area, dayroom, physical fitness room, training room, storage for heavy tactical rescue equipment, and offices.

The new station comes as Prince William officials recently cut the ribbon on another new fire station.

  • A newly reconstructed Coles Station 6 (the one shown in the featured photo in this post) is located on Route 234 across from Charles Colgan Jr. Senior High School near Woodbridge.
  • It was built next to the old Station 6, which is now set for demolition.

Manassas City is also building its new fire station.

  • Fire Station 21 will be located on Dumfries Road near the Prince William Fairgrounds.
