The opening was celebrated with a \u201chose cutting\u201d ceremony and tours of the new station, located at 1532 S. Bennett. The new station will replace the existing Station 5, located at 2815 Frankston Highway, which has been in use since the mid 1980s.  The $1.7 million structure was paid for in cash, with funds from the Half-Cent Sales Tax as well as a one-time donation from the Cascades Development. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving Station 5 closer to the West Loop provides better spacing and coverage for a larger portion of Tyler,\u201d said Fire Chief Tim Johnson.  \u201cThe citizens of Tyler will benefit from the new station placement by having a more uniform response time.\u201d  Councilmember Darryl Bowdre added, \u201cThe Fire Station Number 5 relocation demonstrates the strong commitment of the Tyler City Council towards public safety.  Most of us will remember that general public safety was one of the top concerns expressed by Tyler residents during the Tyler 21 planning process.\u201d   The new fire station was built with an expected lifespan of 50 years.
