Interesting story from the city I used to reside in. The city of Round Rock Texas is very progressive and proactive.

Crews in Round Rock are hurrying to open a new fire station because an upcoming TXDOT bridge project would cut off several homes from a quick fire truck response.

Great idea! Reduce, re-use, recycle!

I recall a few article from the past where departments did this.  I think it's an awesome, outside of the box idea!  Not only does it save the taxpayers money, but it makes the fire house fit into the neighborhood.  I think it looks a bit gawdy when a large, brick building is just plopped into the middle of a residential neighborhood.
