RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS AND/ OR MASTER PLAN:
The public safety needs assessment conducted in FY2022 identified Fire Station # 2 as a candidate for relocation
and replacement in order to accommodate fire service operations and to meet the growing needs of the
community.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Project scope includes the design and construction of a new Fire Station # 2 to be located at 2214 West Euless
Boulevard. The proposed project calls for a station of approximately 18, 000- 19, 000 sq. ft. to include four (4)
double deep bays to accommodate various sizes of apparatus along with additional bay space for housing of
reserve units and other equipment. Living quarters and office space for staff are also included in the project. A
three-story fire training tower with an internal stairway and exterior window ports for various forms of ladder
training, repelling exercises, and window rescues is also a possibility for this site.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:
Began Design: October 2022
Design Complete: April 2023
Anticipate Begin Construction: July 2023
Anticipate Construction Complete: July 2024

JUSTIFICATION:
The current station located at 1515 Westpark Way can no longer meet the needs of a full -service fire station. This
station was constructed in 1998 from the former Fleet Service Center (built 1978). The facility was remodeled to
accommodate the fire staff and apparatus bays were constructed on the west side of the building for equipment
and vehicles. Minor cosmetic upgrades were performed in 2015 with paint and appliance updates being the
primary focus. The needs assessment performed in FY2022 has determined that the current station would not be
a candidate for a remodel and the site would not accommodate the size of structure needed to support fire
operations.
