St. Johns County Fire Station 5, located at 3370 US Rte 1 South, opened last June. This facility replaces a pair of older structures, Stations 5 & 11, that were built in the 70s. Squad 5, Truck 5, Woods 5, two ALS Rescues and a Battalion Chief run out of this "Super Station". This facility is shared with the Sheriff's Office and serves as their South Regional Command Center. It includes a training center for Fire Rescue, fitness center, living quarters and four drive through apparatus bays. This project cost approximately $6.4 million.
