The department attempted to buy a plot of land from the homeowners association so its new station could go there. In the beginning of 2004 some people living in Greenwood Forest stated opposition against building a new fire station in Greenwood Forest. In July 2004 the department changed plans and stated it would build a new station away from Greenwood Forest.

It planned to spend $3,000,000 total for the station. By November 2004 so some area residents sued the homeowners association to prevent it from selling the land.

In February 2009 the current station opened. Education
