Pleasanton Welcomes Rebuilt Fire Station

PLEASANTON, CA — Representatives from the City of Pleasanton and the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department welcomed a newly-rebuilt station at 3200 Santa Rita Road Friday.

“We are so pleased to open our newly-constructed fire station with essential upgrades that will provide greater fire and emergency safety to our community and to our fire personnel,” Pleasanton Mayor Karla Brown said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In January 2021, the nearly 50-year-old station was torn down after a study determined that it was no longer able to provide necessary services, and it would make more financial sense to replace the structure rather than repair it. Firefighters moved into a temporary station on Stoneridge Drive while construction began on the new firehouse.

The roughly $9 million new station provides a number of health, safety, and aesthetic upgrades, including:

• Two drive-through apparatus bays with bi-folding doors to accelerate response times.
• Parking for personnel and the public, which includes EV charging stations.
• A refueling station.
• An emergency generator.
• Operable windows to optimize natural ventilation and light.
