St. Cloud asks voters to approve $43.5 million for new fire station

St. Cloud voters will decide whether to approve a new fire station for the city’s growing south side.

If approved, the city would issue $43.5 million in bonds to build a sixth fire station.

Fire Chief Matthew Love said the new station will add firefighters and equipment to a growing part of the city, which includes St. Cloud Tech High School and new housing developments.

The goal is to have the first fire engine respond to a 911 call within four minutes, and the rest of the force within eight to 12 minutes, he said. The department isn’t currently meeting that goal in all parts of the city.
