Volusia County officials, Fire Rescue leadership, and community partners gathered on Thursday, April 2, to break ground on the new Fire Station 15 at 1159 Red John Road in Daytona Beach, marking the start of construction on a facility designed to enhance emergency response and support countywide training efforts.
With over 12,000 square feet, the new station will replace the current Station 15, which operates within the county’s Fire Training Center. The new facility will provide dedicated living quarters, including bunk rooms and a day room, along with bays for emergency vehicles and operational space designed for a full-service fire rescue station. Construction is expected to be completed early next year.
The new station represents an investment in both public safety and the firefighters who serve the community, helping position crews to respond quickly and effectively. It will also allow the Fire Training Center to expand training programs that support agencies across Volusia County and attract fire service professionals from across the state and nation, further strengthening the County’s role as a hub for fire service training.
Station 15 serves unincorporated Volusia County and the Daytona Beach area, providing fire suppression and emergency medical services. The station also houses the County’s Hazardous Materials Response Team, which serves all of Volusia County. The Red John Road location was selected to enhance geographic coverage and support efficient response to surrounding neighborhoods and major roadways.
