WARREN — In the last few months, the Warren Fire Department has held ceremonies for two new fire stations.

The department held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Fire Station No. 5 — located on Schoenherr Road — in late July. A ceremony for the new Fire Station No. 1, on Van Dyke Avenue south of Center Line, was held at the end of September.

Both stations are significantly larger than the old ones, coming in at around 13,000-square feet. They have individual sleeping quarters, a living space separate from where firefighters will decontaminate after a fire, and other state-of-the-art technology.

However, the department hasn’t officially moved into either station yet.

Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams said Fire Station No. 1 is at about 97% completion, while Fire Station No. 5 is at 99%.
