Minot’s fifth fire station is scheduled to be open later this year and it will improve the Fire Department’s response times and coverage areas, officials say

Minot, N.D. – According to the statement, Fire Department officials and other personnel have created new coverage districts to accommodate Fire Station 5, located in northwest Minot along Fourth Avenue NW.

The Fire Department, Aleesha Erickson in the Engineering Department, and members of the Assessor’s Office worked together to build the new maps.

The Fire Department currently uses four coverage districts, but a fifth district was created, impacting the existing districts.

The end result was to create a coverage map with five districts rather than four districts.

According to the city officials, the district covered by Fire Station 2 (located near downtown on Third Street NE) will see significant changes with the addition of Fire Station 5.
