Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station in Willow Glen

Fire Station 37 is located near Lincoln & Curtner and serves the south area of the Willow Glen community and the north area of the Cambrian community.

The new building is an 8,100 square foot two-story, single-fire company station that contains 2 apparatus bays, separate crew and captain’s offices, an open kitchen, dining & living room, exercise room, and 5 two-bed capacity dormitories with private restrooms.

The City’s new standards of Zero Net Carbon totally eliminate the use of natural gas. There are 82 Photovoltaic Panels generating a total of 25kW in solar power.

The building was designed by IBI-Group Architects, and constructed by Gonsalves & Stronck Construction Company.

The project is said to have been completed on schedule and within the approved $8.8 million budget (after acquiring the city parkland it now stands on).

        Surprised myself! Thought another night of staring at ceiling was forgone conclusion. I feel that the Ramelt erased any concern and then the rainstorm took me away.
