Yonkers has begun preparing a site where a new downtown firehouse will be built.

 

Work began in June on a grassy area near the intersection of New School Street, Palisade Avenue and Elm Street.

And looks like the demolition of the old Station 1 is now in full swing....

Has this firehouse been completed? 

If so, What companies are currently running out of here.

It's been substantially completed, just some finishing touches being applied. To my knowledge, they have yet to move in. Confirmed companies will be Tower Ladder 71 and Rescue 1. I've heard rumors about other companies or apparatus, but nothing confirmed.

On April 6, 2020, both YFD Rescue 1 and Tower Ladder 71 are now officially housed and are responding to calls from the New Station 1 on 7 New School Street. In addition, Spare Rescue 1 and Spare Tower Ladder 81 will also be housed at this new facility
