INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Fire Department held a ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday for a new north side station.
IFD Station 32 will be located in the 6300 block of North College Avenue and will replace the current station on nearby Guilford Avenue.
The two-story, 14,000-square-foot station will be home to an engine and a tanker, and will have room for additional apparatus in a third bay.
Construction is estimated to cost about $7.5 million, with the fire station expected to open in August 2025.
The future for the facility on Guilford Avenue, IFD's oldest active station, hasn't been determined. It has been in operation for more than a century and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
