What happened
Tampa Fire Rescue broke ground on Fire Station 24, a 17,000-square-foot facility being built in Greco Park. The new station includes four apparatus bays, living quarters, administrative spaces, and a training tower. The project was advocated for by Tampa City Councilman Luis Viera to address surging emergency calls in North Tampa.

Why it matters
The construction of Station 24 is intended to alleviate pressure on Station 13, which serves the Fowler Avenue area and Busch Gardens. Station 13 had been one of the busiest fire stations in the city since about 2020, handling roughly one in seven calls in that year.
