The City of Bloomington officially reopened Fire Station 3, located on Indiana Universityโs campus on North Woodlawn Avenue, after extensive renovations. The city invested $4 million in the station and began modernizing it in December 2024 for the first time since it was built in 1963.
The rededication ceremony, hosted on Monday to mark the reopening, featured opening remarks from Bloomington Fire Chief Roger Kerr, Indiana University Bloomington Chancellor David Reingold, and other city officials.
Reingold thanked the department for its ongoing partnership with the campus and was followed by Bloomington City Council President Hopi Stosberg, who said she appreciated the quality of the upgrades.
Bloomington Mayor Kerry Thomson concluded the ceremony by sharing a story about bringing baked goods to the department on Christmas morning last year while the station was under construction and witnessing the firefightersโ dedication.
