Stark County Business News: City of North Canton - New Fire/EMS Building Proposal Project History

 

New Fire/EMS Building Proposal Project History

NC Fire Department Logo (Updated PNG)

The City of North Canton has been attempting to build a new consolidated Fire/EMS facility for the North Canton Fire Department (NCFD) for the past 20 years. During that time, the City has paid for at least five schematic designs of a new station (2004, 2008, 2021, 2018, and 2023). While the locations and layouts of the stations have changed, the core design of each station has remained the same over the past twenty years, including:

  • More Dorms
  • Bigger Bays
  • More Offices
  • Decontamination
  • Training
  • Parking

The NCFD has been requesting a new station to address concerns with their current facilities that cannot otherwise be addressed. These concerns are a result of the age of the existing facilities and the history of NCFD’s evolution from a volunteer department to what it is today.

The project is a long-term, fundamental need to protect the safety of our community and residents, not just a passing fancy.
