Shovels are in the ground as construction of a new fire hall in Alliston has begun.

New Tecumseth Fire Station #4 will be located on the 14th Line near the Briar Hill subdivision and Nottawasaga Resort.

The 12,600 sq. ft. facility will meet the need for expanded fire and rescue service as the town grows.

A ground breaking ceremony was held at the construction site on June 17, to officially start the new project, with local dignitaries, firefighters, town employees, construction personnel, and local residents in attendance.

“This new fire station represents a major investment in the safety and well-being of our growing community,” said New Tecumseth Mayor Richard Norcross at the groundbreaking ceremony. “As New Tecumseth continues to expand, so too must our emergency services. Fire Station 4 will help ensure faster response times, improve coverage, and provide stronger support for our firefighters and residents alike.”

The design for the new building will be similar to the redesigned fire station in Tottenham with a modern look and red building accents.

“Fire Station #4 is a vital addition to our town’s emergency services and infrastructure,” said New Tecumseth Fire Chief Dan Heydon. “This groundbreaking marks more than just the start of construction, it represents a commitment to our public safety. As our town continues to grow, so does the need for a timely, reliable, and effective emergency response. The new fire station is a direct response to that need. It will help us reduce response times, expand coverage in the high-growth areas, and enhance the safety of every resident.”

The new facility will have three bays, firefighter dormitories, training and meeting rooms, administrative offices, a kitchen and dining area, and dedicated spaces for equipment and maintenance.

The new fire station is expected to open in the fall of 2026 with the completion of the building and the arrival of the new fire trucks and apparatus.
