VINELAND – A late November finish is anticipated for the replacement fire station and headquarters under construction since mid-2023, according to the city.

The 38,000-square-foot facility is going up at 200 North West Boulevard, a 4.4-acre site between Plum and Pear streets. Station 6 will call the facility home along with administrative functions.
