Plans have been submitted to replace the fire station in Clough Road, Hull.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service wants to build a new £3.9m facility on the same site.
The service believes the current three-storey facility, built in 1958, is in poor condition with inadequate accommodation to carry out its operations effectively.
The new station would be used for firefighting, marine rescue, training and administrative support.
The fire service hopes the new station, if granted planning permission, would be up and running by 2018.
Hull City Council will consider the application in March.
