Rainier Valley - Station 28
About the Station Fire Station 28, located at 5968 Rainier Avenue South, houses one engine company, a ladder truck, and a medic unit. Built in 1951, the current Fire Station 28 requires significant work to meet current earthquake safety standards and program requirements. Because of the flexibility the large site offers, a new station is now planned on the existing site. The facility will be on the north side of the current fire station. Station Improvements The architectural firm Schreiber Starling & Lane is designing the upgrade. The project scope includes a new station built to current safety standards. During construction of the new building, crews will remain in the current station. Current Status
