The Peoria City Council has given the green light building a new fire station on the city’s southside.
According to a Facebook post by Peoria Firefighters Local 50 Union, council members Tuesday night approved the purchase of land to rebuild Station 4 on S. Western Avenue, replacing the current and outdated location on S. Jefferson Street.
Peoria Fire Chief Ed Olehy says construction of the new firehouse could begin as early as this fall.
