Project Overview
Fire Station 3, located at 1585 30th St., is outdated, inefficient, undersized and located in the 100-year flood plain. Relocation will allow for better service delivery to a significant part of the city that is not currently within a four-minute response time (industry standard) of any of our fire stations. This station is consistently identified as a high priority project due to its location in the flood plain, high energy use, and limited capacity. Relocation to a new facility will significantly help the city achieve and maintain energy goals.
A new station will significantly improve response coverage to a rapidly growing portion of the city. In addition, the station will allow for existing fire response resources to be repositioned and increase the efficiency of department operations while allowing for a potentially increased scope of emergency medical service (EMS) delivery.
Fire Station 3 construction will be funded in part by the Community, Culture, Resilience and Safety Tax.
