Chief of Training Jon Rasch <br />Construction of the new Lake Johanna Fire Department headquarters has begun! A groundbreaking ceremony took <br />place on Thursday, May 22, where elected officials from Arden Hills, North Oaks, Shoreview and state officials joined <br />together to celebrate. <br />This headquarters station will support the communities of Arden Hills, North Oaks <br />and Shoreview, as well as the Fire Department’s needs over “the next 50 years.” <br />The new location will balance response times to the southern portion of the joint <br />service area. This station will feature first-class training facilities that will be used <br />with partner agencies for classroom and hands-on training both inside and outside <br />the training room. It will include a training tower, ladder training and rope rescue <br />training. The Fire Department will be able to conduct station tours and expand on <br />various Public Fire Education programs within their new headquarters. <br />The City Council approved a proposal to construct the new headquarters in July <br />2024. Regular updates will be posted on the City’s website at cityofardenhills.org.
