(From the City of Joplin)
Construction has begun! Fire Station #7 is located at 6720 E. 30th Street and will serve southeast Joplin.
Work began this summer on the $4.5 million dollar project that is funded through the Public Safety Tax that voters approved in 2006.
The new station is near the new Casey’s Distribution Center and will house a new fire engine (also currently under construction) that is designed to respond to incidents in an area with large industrial complexes.
The proximity to both I-49 and I-44 will allow for quicker responses to multiple areas within the city limits of Joplin.
The Joplin Fire Department will hire nine additional firefighters to staff the station 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (funded through the 2006 Public Safety Tax). The current anticipated opening date for this station is August of 2023
