Excerpts from Gurneeil.us: The Village of Gurnee and Warren Waukegan Fire Protection District Celebrate the Grand Opening of Fire Station 3 GURNEE, IL – The Village of Gurnee and the Warren Waukegan Fire Protection District (WWFPD) officially opened their new Fire Station 3 on Wednesday, October 13th at 1:00 PM. Located at 5330 Manchester Drive, this state-of-the-art facility is a major addition to the community's emergency services. The grand opening included a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a celebration attended by residents, local officials, and first responders. Fire Station 3 covers 14,452 square feet and will be staffed by five firefighter/paramedics. It will house two ambulances and one ladder truck, enhancing the district’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies. The strategic location of the station is expected to improve response times, especially during peak call periods, and offers easy access to major highways like I-94 and Route 120. The project was planned over several years by the Village of Gurnee. Originally budgeted at around $6.3 million in 2019, the construction was delayed in April 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, after re-evaluating the bids in June 2020, the final cost came in at $5.8 million. Despite the economic challenges posed by the pandemic, the project remained on track and was completed without significant disruptions. This new fire station marks an important step forward in strengthening public safety for both Gurnee and the surrounding areas. It reflects the commitment of local leaders and emergency services to invest in infrastructure that supports the growing needs of the community.
