First-look designs of the futuristic new building have been released and officials say there will be state-of-the-art operational facilities.
And all have been designed with a community theme.
Cannock is one of ten brand new community fire stations to be announced.
The Fire and Rescue Authority have agreed that Fire Support is the company they would like to appoint to take forward the private finance initiative.
The project will see seven fire stations rebuilt as well as the building of an additional three new stations in areas where the Fire Authority has determined there is a need for additional resources.
"Stations crewed around the clock are also to include fitness facilities that can be used by supervised groups," a fire spokesman said.
"Community groups will be able to use the facilities and the newly designed stations will also allow for more community safety activities to take place, such as student firefighter courses," he added.
