Pre-Construction
The Village of Pecos Fire Station will be located on this empty lot
in a few short weeks. Months of preparation have gone into getting this

agencies have made this a success. Here is a list of the involved parties
who have made this project a reality: The Village of Pecos, Economic
Development Administration, Rep. Nick Salazar-Dist. 40, NCNMEDD, Community
Assistance Inc.,Engineers Inc./ Wilson & Company, and Elko Construction.

Construction Begins
Big machinery is used to move the dirt for the new Fire Station. Once
the foundation is done the walls will go up quickly.
Ground work is time consuming but is key to getting a project started
properly. Drainage and slope are important facets to this project as
well, due to the large amounts of moisture received in the Pecos region.

Walls Are Going Up
The pace of construction on the Fire Station at Pecos is speeding up.
Design of the structure was given utmost importance so as to match the
character of the community. Keep an eye on this project because the
roof should be added on shortly.

The Walls Go Up
The walls have gone up on the new Fire station at the Village of Pecos.
It is possible to view the training center portion of the building (left
side), as well as, the working quarters (right side) area for the Volunteer
Fire Fighters. Soon to follow, will be the garage area for the Fire
trucks and the roof will finish the exterior portion of this project
off.

Finishing Touches
Workers are completing the finishing touches to the interior and exterior
of the Fire Station in the Village of Pecos. The Village is looking
forward to the day the Fire Station can open its doors at the new location
to serve and protect an area which has been threatened by numerous fires.
