Monroe County Facilities Development and Monroe County Fire Rescue are preparing to demolish and replace the Sugarloaf Key Fire Station #10, with work scheduled to begin this week. The 8,320-square-foot two-story project will replace the existing facility with a new fire station designed to better serve the community and support emergency response operations.
The project will begin with interior preparations and equipment staging, followed by demolition of the existing structure. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the new fire station is anticipated in early December.
The existing fire station has experienced significant structural and maintenance issues and is no longer considered economically repairable. The replacement project will provide a modern facility designed to meet Monroe County Fire Rescue’s operational needs and support long-term emergency services in the Lower Keys. At the community’s request, plans for the new station include a multipurpose room.
“The new Sugarloaf Key Fire Station represents Monroe County’s continued investment in public safety infrastructure and its commitment to providing reliable emergency services to residents and visitors throughout the Florida Keys,” said Fire Chief R.L. Colina.
Fire rescue services in the Sugarloaf Key area have remained uninterrupted despite the station’s closure. Firefighters are operating from a temporary location to maintain emergency response coverage until construction of the new station is complete.
Additional information regarding the ceremonial groundbreaking will be announced as plans are finalized. Construction is anticipated to be complete at the end of 2027.
