Waco Fire Station 4 will soon have a new location off La Salle, replacing its current location on Speight Avenue.
Station 4 is the only station east of I-35 and serves both South Waco and Baylor neighborhoods.
“This is about more than just a new location,” Fire chief Robby Bergerson said during the groundbreaking ceremony. “It’s a strategic investment in public safety.”
He added that Station 4 is one of the busiest stations in town and the move will help to improve response times for the area.
The new station will cost nearly $6 million. Construction is underway and expected to be completed by spring 2027.
