New fire station construction starts in Mississauga

Crews broke ground on a new fire station in Mississauga.

Work on Fire Station 123, which will serve The Collegeway and Winston Churchill Boulevard area, has begun with a groundbreaking, Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services Chief Deryn Rizzi said in a post on Tuesday.

Officials originally said construction would begin in spring 2024. The construction timeline is now from 2024 to 2025 with the station opening in 2026, the city said on its website.

The new firehouse is one of six new fire stations planned over the next 12 years to improve response times, the city said.

Mississauga’s goal is to get emergency response teams to calls in four minutes or less 75  per cent of the time.

Fire station 124 (Dundas Street and Cawthra Road) is also in the construction phase and is also slated to open in 2026, according to the city.

Fire Station 125 is scheduled to open in the summer of 2025 at Tenth Line and Aquitaine Avenue, in the Meadowvale West community of north Mississauga.

Fire stations 103 and 111 are in the planning and design phase, said Rizzi.

Four other stations (102, 108, 114 and 115) are under renovation.

Station 123 is being designed with an environmentally responsible approach, achieves net zero energy, and meets the city’s corporate green building standard.
