Wilmington Fire Department considers building new fire station

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — At today’s City Council agenda briefing, Wilmington’s fire chief revealed his department wants to build another fire station.

It would go on Cinema Drive across from the movie theater.

Architects came up with four plans. The biggest and most expensive would be about 13,000 square feet and cost about $2.6 million.

Fire Chief Buddy Martinette says the new fire station would help his department consolidate and reach out to the community more.
