The Village of Gurnee and Warren Waukegan Fire Protection District Celebrate the Grand Opening of Fire Station 3
GURNEE, IL – The Village of Gurnee and the Warren Waukegan Fire Protection District (WWFPD) recently held a grand opening ceremony for Fire Station 3, located at 5330 Manchester Drive. The event took place on Wednesday, October 13th at 1:00 PM, featuring a ribbon-cutting and community celebration. This new station is an important addition to the existing fire facilities that serve both the Village of Gurnee and the WWFPD.
Spanning 14,452 square feet, Fire Station 3 will be staffed by five firefighter/paramedics and will house two ambulances and one ladder truck. The location was carefully chosen to improve emergency response times, especially during peak call volumes. Its strategic position also provides easy access to major highways like Interstate 94 and Route 120, making it more efficient for emergency vehicles to reach the scene quickly.
The project was part of long-term planning by the Village of Gurnee, which conducted extensive analyses over several years. In 2019, the initial bid for construction came in at around $6.3 million. Although the station was included in the 20/21 capital budget, its construction was delayed in April 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with rising construction costs and supply chain issues later that year, the village decided to re-bid the project. The revised bids came in at approximately $5.8 million, and despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the construction of Fire Station 3 moved forward without significant disruption.
This new facility marks a significant step forward in enhancing public safety and emergency services for residents in the area.
Thanks, Keith
