Beacon Hill - Station 13 - Historic 
About the Station Station 13 houses one engine company (E13), a battalion chief unit, and reserve battalion chief unit. It currently serves as the lead station for Battalion V, which serves most of southeast Seattle. In 2004, the station was designated as a landmark. Click here to see the landmark nomination report. Although Station 13 was built more than 75 years ago, its extensive expansion and renovation in 1987 resulted in many improvements. Today the building remains in generally fair condition, with certain exceptions: it fails to meet current standards for seismic safety and many of its building systems (e.g., heating and electrical) are outdated. About the Project As a seismic and safety upgrade station, Station 13 requires some additional seismic bracing to meet current codes. The other improvements include a modest remodel to provide capacity for apparatus bay support functions, including decontamination, EMS/disaster storage, and maintenance areas, and to reconfigure the station's basement. In addition, the station office and lobby will be remodeled for greater operational efficiency and security. The station will continue to house one engine company. It will no longer serve as the lead station for Battalion V; this responsibility will be assumed by Station 14. All structural modifications planned for Station 13 can be made without significantly altering the historic character of this building. Emergency services are expected to remain on site while the station is being upgraded. Planned Station Features Technical Capacities
