New fire station in Worcester reaches construction milestone

WORCESTER – Seven months after construction work formally began, and five months after a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony , the last steel beam was placed in the structure that will become the city's new South Division Fire Station. The project is about a year away from completion. A topping-off ceremony was held Monday, Nov. 9., at the site at Southbridge and Madison streets. "Today is a monumental milestone for the building of our South Division fire station," Assistant Fire Chief Adam J. Roche said. Draped with an American flag and topped off with a pine tree, a symbol of good luck, the steel beam was lifted up into the sky and set firmly in place by two construction workers several stories up. As it was secured in its final resting place, the crowd applauded. The South Division Fire Station will replace the current one at 180 Southbridge St., not far from the new one. The building will be two stories with a mostly brick façade and approximately 30,000 square feet of space. It will have six overhead doors, decontamination laundry facilities, a training tower, a dining and kitchen area, and a bunk room. The land at 25 Madison St. was once
