New fire station to be constructed on Centennial Road

The Town of Orangeville plans to construct a new fire station at the corner of Centennial and Commerce Roads, to replace the existing fire hall which was constructed in 1971-1972 on Dawson Road. The 2015 Fire Master Plan identified the need for the replacement of the existing fire hall and associated training grounds.

The approximate 20,000-square-foot fire headquarters will address the growing capacity needs of the fire operations and community service area with particular focus on maintaining industry standards for response times. The new station will accommodate administrative staff, the fire fighter suppression team, the fire prevention and training divisions, four drive-through fire apparatus bays, living quarters, training/meeting rooms, and the Town’s primary emergency operations centre (EOC). A training area will also be incorporated at the rear of the property.

The site was purchased from Metrolinx in the spring of 2021. The Town is currently working on minor site remediation of the property which is expected to be completed by late summer. A Request for Proposals is to be released in late June for an architectural, engineering, contract administration and project management consultant to prepare design and construction details for the facility.

The estimated design and construction timeline is 18-24 months, with project completion anticipated in the spring or early summer of 2023.
