Fire Station #5 Construction

Mayor Dan Coody and the Fayetteville City Council joined Fire Chief Tony Johnson and the Fayetteville Fire Department on August 22, 2007 to celebrate the dedication of the new Fayetteville Fire Station #5 located at 2979 North Crossover Road. 

The new fire station #5 went on line for the Fayetteville Fire Department on August 6, 2007, and the project was completed on time and under budget. The station has two bays and is approximately 5,500 square feet. Wittenberg, Delony & Davidson, Inc. was the architectural firm for the project. Bossler Contracting, Inc. was the primary contractor, and sub-contractors included Green-Anderson Engineers, Engineering Consultants, Inc. and McClelland Consulting Engineers. The budget for the project was $1.85 million, and preliminary estimates indicate the project will come in approximately $250,000 under budget. 

In 2005, the City and the fire department administration developed the Fire Service Expansion Matrix. This document helps administrators track growth in terms of service demand. A key component of the Fire Service Expansion Matrix is the use of five triggering points to gauge benchmarks that identify when land for a fire station should be purchased and when construction should be started. Currently, the northwest part of the city has reached the trigger point prompting officials to begin searching for fire station #8. In addition, the fire department is actively involved with other city agencies and the developers of the proposed South Pass development.
