Construction is underway at two new fire stations in Welland.
The energy-efficient stations, which are being completed by project management firm Mettko, will be located at 400 East Main Street and 636 King Street.
The project will consolidate five fire stations into three - once the new stations are operational, Fire Stations #1, #2, #4 and #5 will close.
Fire Station #1 will become the headquarters for Fire and Emergency Services Operations, staff and volunteer firefighters.
It will include a training tower.
Fire Station #2 will be located behind the current headquarters on King Street, which will be torn down once the new building is up.
Construction of both fire halls is expected to be done by next spring.
