Admiral District - Station 29

About the Station

Station 29 currently houses one engine company (E29) and a battalion chief unit. It also provides capacity for two reserve units: a reserve engine and reserve battalion chief unit.

As one of the newer stations in the system, Station 29 is in generally fair condition, but requires some minor seismic retrofits.

About the Project

As a seismic and safety upgrade station, Station 29 will receive some additional seismic bracing to meet current codes. The station will also be remodeled to improve its functionality.

The reconfiguration is planned to convert the existing crew area on the west side of the building into space that can also accommodate decontamination equipment as well as crew preparation and vehicle maintenance functions. The east sides of both the basement and first floor will be reconfigured to provide more functional crew space and an upgraded administrative area that will support more efficient operations and provide greater security.

Following the remodel, both the primary and reserve battalion chief units currently housed at Station 29 will be moved to Station 32, which will become the lead station for Battalion VII.

Emergency services are expected to remain on site while the station is being upgraded.
