The contract for the new Hereford Fire Station has been signed.
Contractors, Speller Metcalfe, who recently built the new Redditch Fire Station will start construction of the temporary fire station in Mortimer Road, Hereford later this month.
Once the temporary fire station is complete, in around June 2025, the current staff and vehicles will move across and demolition of the existing Fire Station in St Owen Street will begin.
The build programme has an overall duration of around 86 weeks, and this should see the new fire station completed in early 2027.
This marks an investment of around £14m by Hereford & Worcester Fire Authority into Hereford city and will provide a new, modern, and efficient fire station for Herefordshire that will complement those new fire stations which have been built across Worcestershire.
The new building will have accommodation for the district staff.
It will also have capacity to be used by all of the Service, and support recruitment, Prevention and Protection activities.
