Council approves temporary fire station to serve northeast Fairfield
FAIRFIELD A modular living unit will serve as a temporary fire station at the North Bay Regional Water Treatment Plant to better secure emergency response for residents in the northeast section of the city.
The Fairfield council on Tuesday suspended competitive bidding and approved the purchase of a 2,160-square-foot unit manufactured by Design Space Modular PNW Inc. of Dixon. The unit can house three to four firefighters.
“Conceptual planning is underway for a new fire station. However, construction is not anticipated to commence until 2024-25 at the earliest. In the interim, and to continue to provide expeditious emergency response to the residents in northeast Fairfield, a temporary fire station is proposed on the North Bay Regional Water Treatment Plant site,” the staff report to the council states.
