Update:
Peoria Fire Department Restores Engine 4 In Shuffle

By Joe Deacon • Nov 10, 2020

The Peoria Fire Department will reopen Station 4 and instead close Station 8 after finding increased response times were higher than anticipated.

A South Peoria fire station shuttered by budgetary cuts will reopen, but at the expense of another station that serves the Uplands, the Moss Avenue area and Bradley University.

Peoria Fire Department Chief Tony Ardis told the City Council on Tuesday the increased response times created by the Oct. 1 closure of Station 4 on SW Jefferson Street were not acceptable.

Ardis said their best plan was to reintroduce Engine 4 at Station 4, paired with the transfer of Truck 4 from Station 8 on Hurlburt Street. The reintroduction would be offset by decommissioning Engine 2 that would result in the closure of Station 8.
