VIDEO/PHOTOS: The Henderson Fire Department traded in fire hoses for sledgehammers this week. The department kicked off the "extreme makeover" of a former motorhome dealership into a new fire station for the city. Henderson announced back in the fall that the city purchased the former Camping World property on Boulder Highway near Racetrack Road, intending to convert it into the new Fire Station 81. City officials held a ceremonial wall knockdown on Wednesday to commemorate the start of construction. The 4.4-acre site will have three extra-long bays to house fire engines. The grounds will be able to accommodate 12 firefighters and a battalion chief, plus 10,000 square feet of warehouse space. Henderson said converting the building is more cost-effective than building from the ground up.
