Fire Station No. 1 | Grand Opening

The Lloydminster Fire Department hosted a grand opening ceremony on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, to celebrate the opening of the newly built Station No. 1.
Located at 3752 47 Street, firefighters moved into the new station on May 20, 2022, after construction of the $10-million enhanced fire station funded by the Government of Canada, the Government of Alberta, and the City of Lloydminster began in early 2021.
The new fire station is the culmination of work dating back to 2018, which included an infrastructure needs assessment and engineering study as part of the municipality’s community facilities report in 2019. One of the key findings was that the former station (5013 49 Avenue) built in the 1940s had reached the end of its serviceable life. Council approved the construction of the new station in April 2020, and the build was awarded to Chandos Construction Ltd. in November 2020.
