Honouring fire department tradition, London councillor Matt Brown and County of Middlesex Warden Joanne Vanderheyden connect two fire hoses to officially open the new London Fire Department/Middlesex London EMS Station 14 on Friday (Oct. 21). This new 8,500 square-foot facility located on Hyde Park Road, just north of Fanshawe Road, was a joint venture between the City of London and Middlesex County. The total project cost for the station was $2.35 million, an amount that was shared between the two municipalities â 60% city, 40% county. In operation since March of this year, the station is the first of its kind in London, bringing both EMS and fire services together under one roof. Its location was chosen with the goal of helping to ensuring community safety and decreasing response times to this rapidly growing area.
