Building a new fire station as proposed in Edmond on the GO is an important way to honor our public servants, who put their lives on the line for us. Edmond on the GO includes a brand-new fire station to replace the aging First Station Number 3, located near Danforth and Kelly. If approved by voters, the new station would be built near the northwest corner of Kelly Avenue and Hawthorne Lane, resulting in faster response times. The project also helps to maintain our Fire Department’s Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating. Better ISO Public Protection Classification ratings often equal better insurance rates for homeowners.
