JFRD said it will address the need for additional rescue services in the area.
The current Fire Station 22 is located about a half mile away and was built in 1966 as a volunteer fire station to house equipment.
JFRD Chief Keith Powers said the district now runs in excess of 6,000 runs a year.
This new fire station — coupled with nearby Fire Station 75 — will open in July and will help quicken response times.
