The Fort Worth Fire Department is getting nearly $14 million in facility updates across three different fire station projects.

Station 43

RJM Contractors will construct a $9.1 million fire station on a 2.57-acre site in the Walsh development. The four-bay station at Walsh Avenue and Walsh Ranch Parkway is expected to be completed by the fall of 2024.

Station 16

The city purchased a one-acre site at the northeast corner of Lovell Avenue and Horne Street for $2.27 million. The station will relocate from its current spot at 5933 Geddes St. The old station is set to be demolished.

Station 15

RJM Contractors will remodel the station at 3100 Azle Ave. for $2.57 million to extend the property’s use. This is the first of 10 existing fire stations slated for renovation.

All of the station updates are part of the fire department’s Facilities and Capital Master Plans.
