Project
Description:
Kensington
(Aspen Hill) Fire
Station #25 is an existing 12,000 square foot facility serving a
densely populated area. This project provides for an
additional
13,443 square feet for increased office and administrative space,
dormitory space, living and dining areas, two new apparatus bays and
associated storage areas. A renovation of the existing
interior
finishes and replacement of the heating/ventilation systems are also
included in the project.
Growth in the
Aspen Hill Area has increased demands on the existing
fire station, which was constructed in 1988. The current
facility
lacks space for the number of firefighters assigned to this location,
and needs additional space for the larger amount of fire apparatus
needed at this station.
Plans and
studies justifying the need for this station include the
Fire, Rescue, Emergency Medical Services, and Community Risk Reduction
Master Plan, October 2005 and the Station Location and Resource
Allocation Study Report, September 2006
Funding:
Project Status:

Facility
is scheduled to open in
