New Tecusmeth Town Council received a report on the progress of construction on its new Fire Station #4, in southern Allisotn, during a regular meeting on Jan. 26, 2026.

Construction of the new facility began in May 2025, with substantial completion anticipated by the end of 2026.

The report states that as of Jan. 7, the project remains on schedule and all major milestones have been achieved.

From a financial perspective, based on the December 2025 billing, construction is approximately 54 per cent complete.

When completed, Fire Station #4 will be a modern, one-story facility with approximately 12,600 square feet of space. The station’s site is located at 6365 14 Line, Alliston. It will be Alliston’s second fire station, providing greater coverage of the town. 

The new fire station will include three drive-through apparatus bays, firefighter dormitories, training and meeting rooms, administrative offices, a kitchen and dining area, and dedicated spaces for equipment maintenance and decontamination.

The facility’s layout and features are designed to support efficient operations, enhance firefighter safety, and ensure quick emergency response times.  

The station’s design also considers future growth and sustainability.

To date, during construction, all major milestones have been achieved, including rough grading, site servicing (sanitary sewers, pumping station, storm sewers), the watermain and fire service main, and municipal connections.

Work over the coming weeks will focus on completing the caulking around the precast panels and continuing with roof work. Inside, crews will advance framing, while plumbing, sprinkler, HVAC, and electrical work progress through the interior.

The project has an approved total budget of $13,368,330, including contingency, and a construction budget of $10,123,516.

So far, the contingency funds have not been needed, as construction is progressing well.
