Preparations are underway for the rebuild of Fire Station 25 in Buffalo Grove.

The current station at 505 W Dundee Road, constructed in 1975, is set to be

replaced after 50 years of service. The new facility aims to modernize and

expand operations, allowing the Fire Department to continue offering premier

emergency services.

With demolition planned for April, work is nearing completion on retrofitting

the Village’s former Public Works building at 51 Raupp Boulevard. This

location will serve as temporary quarters for Station 25 during construction.

Fire operations are expected to begin at this new site in the first week of

March, expediting the reconstruction project and reducing costs without

impacting emergency response times.

"A new, modernized and expanded facility will allow the Fire Department to

continue offering the premier level emergency services you’ve come to expect,"

said a village official.

The move means all services previously offered at the Dundee Road location,

including blood pressure checks and baby safe haven drop-off points, will

relocate to Raupp Boulevard.

Construction of the new Fire Station 25 on Dundee Road is scheduled to begin

in June and expected completion is slated for September 2026.
