Aurora firefighters, with assistance from South Metro Fire Resuce, responded about 5 p.m., according to Twitter posts.
The new station, in the Murphy Creek area, was scheduled to be up and running early in 2018, said Lt. Laure Bridges, a fire department spokeswoman.
The fire was concentrated in the attic of the building, Bridges said. Gusty winds on Wednesday were a concern for firefighters, who fought to ensure that the structure fire did not spread.
There were no reports of injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
