Demolition Begins On Old Reston Fire Station On Wiehle Avenue
Demolition has started on the old Reston Fire Station on Wiehle Avenue to make room for a new, larger facility due to open in summer 2021.
RESTON, VA — Demolition began Friday on the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department's Station 25 in Reston, according to a post on the department's Twitter account.
The station, which is located on Wiehle Avenue, is being demolished to make way for a new Reston Fire Station financed by a $13 million bond referendum Fairfax voters approved in 2015.
Firefighters moved out of the old station at the end of January to a temporary facility located nearby at 1840 Cameron Glen Drive.
