September 16, 2025 — Salem Fire & Rescue announced a major milestone in their station construction project: the new building has been fully erected on the recently cured concrete pad. Painted in the department’s signature red and cream colors, the structure marks a visible step forward in the project.

Over the coming weeks, crews will focus on wiring the building for electricity and preparing it to house apparatus for service. The department acknowledged that, like Rome, the project has progressed steadily through planning and purchasing stages, and they are excited to see the results of their efforts.

Salem Fire & Rescue expressed gratitude to residents of the district for their continued support and trust throughout the project.
