FS 40: Construction of a new 4-bay fire station will relieve existing over-extended resources by increasing the potential to add additional resources for the growing population and high emergency call volume. The new construction shall increase living area and equipment storage thereby providing a safer and healthier living environment for City firefighters. Fire Station #40 is amongst the busiest stations in the City’s southeast sector. The station serves the Lawndale community which is continuously growing in population and emergency service call volume. The fire station currently consists of two bays and has limited resources and accommodations for firefighters, which affects its capability to effectively serve the community's needs. FS 64 & FS 80: The interior of the current fire station will be demolished and re-designed for space optimization. The planned upgrades include enhancements to the walls, electrical systems, plumbing, mechanical systems, flooring, ceilings, millwork, appliances, and furniture. Additionally, improvements will be made to the carbon monoxide exhaust system, overhead doors with operators, security systems, and the IT/radio communication system. FS 104: The scope of work is to design and construct a new 5-bay replacement station on a site to be determined. The existing 2-bay Fire Station #104 was severely flooded and damaged during Hurricane Harvey. The station is currently located near the San Jacinto River and within the 100-year flood plain. This station is too small for the current area’s service needs and does not meet current HFD standards for apparatus or living conditions.
