Welcome to our humble abodes!
Fire Station 1 "Crash/Fire Station"
Fire Station 1...houses the Aircraft Fire & Rescue crews, Structural Engine-1, and
various other emergency response support vehicles to include our Hazardous
Materials Response Unit (HM-316). The
Assistant Chief
reside here as well. Station 1 equipment responds to airfield
emergencies, structural, wildland, vehicular, and hazardous materials incidents.
Haz-Mat (316) carries a variety of specialized rescue and haz-mat equipment, and
can function as a mobile command post.
In a recent initiative, the paramedic and a corpsman (both employed by the Naval
Hospital Lemoore) were moved into the fire station. They are still a part
of the FE&S response family, so adding them to our home was more or less logical.
Besides, their spaces at the clinic are getting renovated as well. Nobody
wants to live with asbestos.
Fire Station 1 underwent a $1.4m Milcon renovation.
The stations looks better and has really improved both living and working
conditions.
Fire Station 2 "Structure Station"
Fire Station 2...houses Structural Engine-2 & Med-2, a basic life support
ambulance. This station has primary response responsibility for the
Administration area of the base. Engine-2 responds to various types of
emergencies (structural, vehicular, wildland, medical, rescues, etc.) and is the
primary off-base response unit.
Station 2 was recently upgraded through a renovation contract which helped to
accommodate our fire based EMS program. The project
doubled the living conditions and gave fire fighters a larger kitchen and dining space,
individual
bunkrooms, an ADA compliant bathroom, and improved HVAC systems.
In addition to adding space inside, we also gained a huge carport on the
front of the station. While being more economical than a new set of
stalls, it does manage to keep the sun off the extra reserve units.
