The City of Durham opened a new fire station this week, Station 9 relocated to Midland Terrace. Watch this space for that story.

Meanwhile, let’s look at drawings of Station 17, planned for 5503 Leesville Road. That’ll add a third fire station to Leesville Road, after Durham County Station 84 at 7305 Leesville Road, and Raleigh Station 29 at 12117 Leesville Road.

Here’s the project page about Station 17. Projected completion is April 2018. Project is presently in design. 

Looks like a monster of a facility. Will be one of the first LEED certified facilities for the city. And will be co-shared with Durham County EMS. Click to enlarge:
