A unique floating fire station is nearing completion along San Francisco’s waterfront at Pier 22½ near the Bay Bridge. The $39.9-million Fireboat Station No. 35 will replace an existing fire station and fire boat berthing facility that does not meet San Francisco Fire Department’s (SFFD) public service and water rescue needs.
The two-story, 15,000-sq-ft design-build project, set to be completed this fall, will provide new and upgraded infrastructure and facilities for emergency equipment and personnel, accommodations for fire personnel, a Maritime Disaster Operations Center and a multi-purpose ambulance room. The new station will also house three fireboats, a dive boat and marine rescue watercraft.
