The Frontier Shores Fire Department is preparing for a major upgrade, one Chief Steven Matias says is long overdue.
For more than a decade, the department has operated out of a community building that was originally loaned to them. Inside, firefighters hold meetings and train, whether it’s reviewing plans on a whiteboard or running medical drills. But the space was never designed to serve as a fire station.
The new Station One will be built less than a mile away, inside the Frontier Shores community itself, on land donated by Sasha and Gary Grooms. Chief Matias and the department say they are grateful for the Grooms’ generosity, calling the land donation a critical step in making the new station possible.
