New Fire Station Breaks Ground In Johns Creek

JOHNS CREEK, GA — This week, demolition began to pave the way for the city’s fourth fire station. City Council members Chris Coughlin and Steve Broadbent joined the Johns Creek Fire Department for the groundbreaking.

The station, located on Kimball Bridge Road just west of Jones Bridge Road, will serve the center and northern portions of Johns Creek, reducing response times in that area.

The Johns Creek Fire Department operates three fire stations (see live map). They are manned 24/7 with full-time firefighters, led by battalion chiefs and company officers.

• Fire Station No. 61: 10265 Medlock Bridge Parkway (Medlock).
• Fire Station No. 62: 10925 Rogers Circle (Shakerag).
• Fire Station No. 63: 3165 Old Alabama Road (Newtown).

The JCFD Headquarters is located inside City Hall, 11360 Lakefield Drive, Johns Creek, GA 30097. Headquarters is open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Johns Creek Fire Department has three engines/pumpers and two 100' ladder trucks, custom-built for the department by Pierce Manufacturing, the world's leading provider of firefighting apparatus.

The Department also has with two transport capable rescues (sometimes referred to as Quick Response Vehicles), which can often respond to emergencies more quickly than larger equipment and, in the event of a delay in ambulance service, transport a critically injured person to an area hospital.

The Quick Response Vehicles are equipped with Phillips 12-lead monitors which monitor heart and lung conditions and have wired and wireless networking capability to area hospitals, allowing for constant monitoring of a victim from the time the first responders in the Quick Response Vehicles arrives at the scene of a medical emergency.

A river rescue boat and a mobile air unit are also part of the department's apparatus.
