Henrico County celebrated its upcoming Eastover Gardens Firehouse 6 on Tuesday with a symbolic “raise the beam” ceremony, marking an important step in the construction of the new $14‑million facility.
Funded by a 2022 voter‑approved bond referendum, the firehouse will replace the more than 55‑year‑old station on South Laburnum Avenue.
The new location sits along Gay Avenue, between Eastover Avenue and Millers Lane, and is expected to triple in size, from about 5,000 to 15,000 square feet, to better serve one of the county’s busiest fire districts.
Tyrone Nelson, Henrico Board of Supervisors member for the Varina District, said the expansion will mean “more reliable service."
