A new fire station is needed in northeast Lenexa to improve emergency response times in this densely populated, high call-volume area. Additional fire headquarters space is also needed, as the department has outgrown its current facility at Fire Station #1. The new station will enhance public safety, operational efficiency and interdepartmental coordination by consolidating fire administration into a single, modern facility.
Fire Station #6 will function as both an emergency response facility and the new Fire Department headquarters. The three-bay station will include residential quarters and parking for eight firefighters, offices for command and prevention staff, and space for the City’s Information Technology (IT) department. The facility will also provide shared collaborative workspaces for administrative and emergency management operations.
