The $12 million central Christchurch fire station rebuild is almost ready.
The new base has been rebuilt on Kilmore St where the old quake-damaged station was located.
The Christchurch City Station includes a bay for four fire engines, accommodation facilities and a 15m training tower.
It is one of 12 Fire and Emergency NZ sites being rebuilt across the wider Christchurch area as part of a $78 million programme.
The station will also house one of Canterbury's two fire command centres.
