City of Coachella celebrates beam signing ceremony for new fire station
It's a major milestone in the rehabilitation and expansion of the fire station in downtown Coachella.
"We're about a month and a half ahead of schedule on the $7.3 million renovation expansion of our fire station here in downtown Coachella," said Coachella Mayor Steven Hernandez.
"It'll be a facility that's a little bit more of just accommodating and, and a little bit more like home," Hernandez said.
On Thursday, the city held a beam signing marking the completion of the framing stage of the project. Officials say that the new firehouse will include more individual rooms for firefighters, a new gym, and an expanded kitchen and living room.
