OVERVIEW
This newly constructed state-of-the-art fire station facility serves over 25 EMS personnel, including sleeping bays, training rooms, fitness room, SCUBA workshop, 10-bay vehicle garage, a modern commercial kitchen, administration areas and conference and meeting rooms. The facility combines the Fire/Rescue department with the Health Department for the North Shore community.
The facility features an advanced communication system with display screens that show incoming messages throughout the building for immediate response. Additionally, large truck lifts are installed in the mechanics bay for on-site repairs. The structure is designed for durability and to create a safe and efficient environment for all staff and responders.
The original Fire Station 82, built in 1963, was demolished as part of this project to allow for the construction of a new fire station on the same property.
Cooperation and communication among the teams of contractors and the project owners were key elements in achieving an excellent facility that fosters community pride as well as comfort and efficiency for the on-site team.










Project Highlights
- The new offices bring all North Shore Fire and Rescue administrators under the same roof, formerly three individual facilities.
- The facility is designed to enable first responders to serve over 65,000 residents and respond to over 12,000 calls annually.
