Project Overview

Firehouse #11, located at 620 West 28th Street, was originally built in the 1950s. The outdated building will be replaced with a modern, state-of-the-art facility that is better equipped to serve the surrounding community. 

A re-zoning of the site (#RZP-2022-014) is needed to accommodate the new, larger facility. 

Project Goals

To provide the surrounding community with a modern facility that accommodates a fire team, a rescue team and houses state-of-the-art equipment.

Public Involvement

The project team hosted a public meeting on August 2, 2022 to share information about the project and explain the next steps. Watch the recording on YouTube.
