Fencing has gone up and construction will be starting soon on a housing project at the old Fernie fire hall site.
Demolition of the old building will be the first step and city staff say that will be happening shortly.
The housing project is being led by Elk Valley Family Society...
A special Air Quality Statement has been issued for the Elk Valley as Environment Canada anticipates the area to be impacted by wildfire smoke over the next 24-48 hours.
