Topeka Fire Stations Reimagined | Topeka News

Topeka’s fire department is set for a major overhaul, relocating three stations to boost emergency response times and firefighter well-being—Station 13 to Six and Governor’s Place, Station 11 to Lyman Road, and Station 6 to Billard Airport. This long-planned, ten-year strategy aims to raise the city’s four-minute response coverage from 75% to 82%, directly addressing resident concerns that have even influenced where people choose to live. With a $36 million price tag, funding remains the biggest hurdle, sparking discussions around a potential half-percent sales tax hike or reallocating capital funds. The public still has a voice: upcoming meetings are scheduled for July 9 at Oakland Community Center, July 11 at the public library, and July 15 at Garfield Community Center.
