    Westland officials celebrated the groundbreaking for a new $7 million Fire Station #2 and Brian

Woehlke Command Training Facility and Todd Stanaway Training Tower last week. The state-of-the-art facility will be fully funded by a $7 million grant from the State of Michigan. Officials said the new facility will improve response times and boost the efficiency of the fire department. Fire Chief Darrell Stamper told the assembled crowd, “This new station will ensure our firefighters are better trained and closer to the community they serve, making Westland even safer.” The new facility will be located at 7300 N. Merriman Road. “I would like to thank our partners in Lansing, Governor (Grethen) Whitmer’s office and State Sen. Dayna Polehanki for being supportive of expanding Westland’s public safety,” stated Mayor Kevin Coleman. “With their help, as well as the funding I secured as state representative, this brand-new fire station will help shorten response times and make our first responders more efficient.”
