New Fire Station No. 50 Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony in University City

Mayor Faulconer Opens 10th New or Rebuilt Fire Station Since 2015
RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY HIGHLIGHTS RECENT PUBLIC SAFETY INVESTMENTS INCLUDING NEW FIRE APPARATUS TO KEEP SAN DIEGANS SAFE DURING PEAK FIRE SEASON
San Diego - Marking the completion of the 10thnew or rebuilt fire station during his tenure, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer was joined today by Fire-Rescue Chief Colin Stowell and Councilmember Barbara Bry for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Fire Station No. 50 that will serve University City and surrounding neighborhoods for generations to come.
Along with the new station, the City will be showcasing the newest fire apparatus - a tractor drawn aerial designed to douse fire in high density areas - that will keep San Diegans safe during what has become a year-round fire season in California. The apparatus is equipped with extra seating for up to six personnel and the ladder pipe operation can be done remotely versus having a firefighter at the top of the ladder. It also has the capacity to douse fires with up to 1,500 gallons per minute.
The new 12,000 square foot, three story fire station includes three apparatus bays, sleeping quarters for 10 personnel, a kitchen, a day room, watch room, exercise room and training room.
Since Mayor Faulconer took office, the City has opened new fire stations in five neighborhoods - City Heights, Little Italy, Mission Valley, Point Loma and Hillcrest - and renovated four others that serve the communities of La Jolla, Mira Mesa, North Park and Southcrest.

Good to see the City of San Diego finally recognize that the fire defense improvements are needed and actually fund the additions needed and also fund the needed personnel. This has been a long time coming. Now let us hope this expansion to cover new growth in the city will continue to be a priority. The men and women of the SDFD have to be commended for making it work day by day in spite of lack of adequate resources. We are grateful for your service!
