Glendale Fire Celebrates “Groundbreaking” Of New Fire Station 151

City of Glendale Dignitaries along with firefighters and other members of the community will come together to celebrate with a groundbreaking event of a new fire station to be located at 6851 N. 52nd Avenue, just sound of Glendale Avenue. The new facility is scheduled to be complete by April of 2009. This station will replace Glendale’s oldest active station, currently Fire Station 151, located at 5705 N. 55th Avenue. Glendale Firefighters have been responding to emergencies out of the current station since 1969.

“This move will increase efficiency as we continue to respond to emergencies throughout the community,” said Glendale Fire Chief Mark Burdick.

The contract was awarded to FCI Construction Inc. The new station will include four apparatus bays, a training room, physical-fitness room and living quarters for 10 firefighters.
