About

With the significant growth in population that the City of West Lafayette has experienced over the last 10 years, City administration selected a firm to assess the feasibility of combining the fire department’s Station #2 and fire administration into a centrally located, single campus along West Navajo Street, adjacent to the current police station facility. Central to this study is the recognition that with significant population growth, commensurate improvements to the City’s existing public safety services are necessary. The current Fire Station #2, located about 2/10ths of a mile east of the existing police station, is well past its useful life, both in terms of basic functionality as well as firefighter health and safety, and it needs to be replaced. The current police station, while decades newer than Fire Station #2, has also outgrown its original facility, compromising the effectiveness of services performed from this location.
