The City dedicated the new Fire Station 14, located at 8300 N. Brighton Ave., on Nov. 30. This station will better enable the City to serve the growing northland.

Construction of the approximately $5.4 million project began in May 2005 and was substantially complete in October 2006. The project was funded completely by the quarter-cent sales tax passed by voters in August 2001 for the Fire Department.

The Capital Improvements Management Office managed this project using the City’s design-build process.

The new fire station is a 17,100-square-foot, two-story structure with three bays. The station is the Battalion 103 headquarters and serves as a one-stop location where fire companies can obtain supplies and training, and refill air and oxygen.
