The addition of Fire Station #110
in 2006 followed the City of Lauderhill’s annexation of the St. George, West Ken
Lark and Broward Estates Communities. The City’s Fire Department has been
operating out of a temporary facility located at 3120 NW 12 Place since that
time.
On Thursday, July 17th
at 10 am, the City’s Officials along with the Fire Department Staff and the
residents of the City of Lauderhill will break ground for a new state of the art
Fire Station to be located at the same address as the temporary facility.
The new 16,600 square foot
permanent facility was designed and will be built to meet the LEED Silver
standards. The LEED Silver criterion meets the City’s ordinance requiring all
newly constructed City buildings to be environmentally friendly.
Fire Station #110 will include
three fire truck bays, the living quarters for fire rescue staff, a kitchen, a
dayroom, an exercise room, separate restroom/shower facilities for both male and
females, offices, storage rooms, a stand-by emergency generator, a police
sub-station, and a medical triage room on the first floor.
The second floor will include a
multi-purpose room and serve as the City’s back-up Emergency Operations Center -
as Fire Station #57 serves as the primary. The parking lot will eventually be
located where the temporary facility is currently located and will include an
above the ground diesel fueling station. Finally, an emergency traffic signal
will be installed at the intersection of Northwest 12th Place and
Northwest 31st Avenue to safely allow the emergency trucks to enter
onto NW 31st Avenue.
The transition from the temporary
building into the new one will be seamless and Fire Station #110’s service will
not be interrupted.
West Architecture and Design is
the architect and builder of the new Fire Station.

Breaking Ceremony on Thursday, July 17, 2014 at 10 am. If you have any
