Lake City - Station 39 
About the Station Fire Station 39 houses one engine company and a reserve engine. The old station, built in 1949, would have required significant work to meet current earthquake safety standards and accommodate today’s modern equipment and firefighting operations. Since meeting code and operational requirements would require a complete overhaul of the station, it was more cost effective to build a new facility on the existing site. The new station occupies part of the current site; the remaining portion will be sold. Station Improvements The Miller Hull Partnership designed the fire station. The project scope includes a new, two-story, three-bay station built to current seismic safety standards. During construction of the new facility, crews remained in the existing station.
