Kendall Fire Station is located on the city’s southeast side on Kalamazoo Ave.
Crews are finalizing the details on GRFD’s newest station.
“For the longest time, it was just drawings on paper,” Captain Jeff Lysiak said. “Something unique about this place is that there are individual dorm rooms now, and we no longer have a large communal dorm. So dorms are not real big.”
Kendall’s station comes with all the modern bells and whistles, including new furniture, a kitchen, and equipment. However, not everything is new inside these walls.
“This table right here is going to be the conference table at the new Kendall fire station,” Lysiak said.
The wood comes from a white oak that was on this lot before the station was built.
Lysiak says he thinks the tree is somewhere around 140 years old.
EV Construction is proud to be the construction partner on the new GRFD Kendall Fire Station.
