Renovation of a fire / police facility in Petaluma, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

Fire Station 1, built in 1938, requires updates to maintain its role in Petaluma’s safety framework. The Public Safety Facility Assessment and Center for Public Safety Management both highlight the need for a station on the westside of the Petaluma River to provide adequate response times. Planned renovations will include seismic retrofit, facility remodel, safety notification system replacement, and strengthening of the apparatus bay doors. The facility remodel will provide accommodations for a more diverse workforce by constructing single-user shower facilities and separated dormitories. Other areas of the facility need upgrades to comply with current building and fire safety codes, and to modernize living and eating quarters. The notification system also requires replacement in all three fire stations, simultaneously, so calls are coordinated throughout the service area, improving response times, and increasing station security.
