Wake County EMS opens Apex Main substation to support growing community needs

During the recent Wake County government meeting, officials highlighted significant advancements in emergency services infrastructure, particularly the opening of the new Apex Main substation. This facility, which features three bays, replaces shared space previously used with the Apex Fire Department and is strategically located in a rapidly growing area of the community. The development of this substation reflects the county's commitment to enhancing emergency response capabilities in response to increasing population demands.

Officials expressed gratitude to various partners, including the Fire Department and Community Development, for their roles in acquiring the land and overseeing the construction of the facility. The General Services Administration (GSA) will also play a crucial role in maintaining the building, ensuring it remains a valuable resource for years to come.

Looking ahead, the county plans to continue expanding its emergency services infrastructure. The upcoming fiscal year will see the development of additional co-located and district stations, with significant progress expected by the end of fiscal year 2026. Notably, a new district station has already broken ground in Cary, which is poised to serve a large and growing community in that area.

These developments are essential as Wake County strives to meet the needs of its expanding population, ensuring that emergency services are both accessible and efficient. As these projects progress, they will play a vital role in maintaining public safety and enhancing community resilience.
