PALM BAY, FLORIDA (March 30, 2026): The City of Palm Bay invites the community to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Fire Station 7 on April 14 at 10:00 AM. The ceremony will take place at 2144 Palm Bay Road, and members of the public and media are welcome to attend.
Fire Station 7 replaces the former Fire Station 1, which was demolished in January 2022 with funding from a FY 2020–2021 Community Development Block Grant. The former station site had remained vacant for eight years and qualified under U.S. Housing and Urban Development regulations as a public facility improvement project serving an area with low- and moderate-income residents. The new station is designed to meet the growing public safety needs of the northeast quadrant of Palm Bay.
The construction of Fire Station 7 represents a continued investment in public safety and emergency response services. The new facility provides modern, state-of-the-art space to support Palm Bay firefighters and enhance their ability to serve residents quickly and effectively. Fire Station 7 also serves as the prototype for future Palm Bay fire stations, helping guide efficient design, construction, and functionality for future public safety facilities across the city.
