New Fire Hall (South Station) - Project Update as of August 6, 2025
Meloche Road & Simcoe Street, Amherstburg
The South Station project, located at Meloche Road and Simcoe Street, continues to progress, representing a significant investment in the safety and emergency response capabilities of the Amherstburg community.
The following update is a result of a meeting with the General Contractor, Niacon, on August 5, 2025.
Recent Progress
- Final work to complete the main foundations and footings is scheduled to be completed this week.
- The first wall pour was completed yesterday, August 5th; the remaining concrete wall pours are scheduled for August 18th.
- August 15th will mark the start of building backfill and further site preparation.
- Structural steel is scheduled to begin arriving on-site on September 15th
Once the structural steel is on-site and erection begins, noticeable progress will quickly follow as the building begins to take shape.
Planning Ahead
A coordination meeting is scheduled for today between the Fire Chief, project architects, and the Town’s representative to finalize interior design and layout details. This planning ensures all interior work can proceed smoothly once the building is enclosed.
Project Timeline
Full completion of the South Station is expected by the end of March 2026.
We appreciate the community’s ongoing support and interest in this important initiative. Once complete, the South Station will provide enhanced resources, facilities, and response capabilities for our fire personnel—strengthening public safety for all Amherstburg residents.
