New Fire Station in Pescadero a Step Closer
Redwood City – Cramped and prone to flooding, the fire station serving a swath of rural southern San Mateo County has long been eyed for replacement.
Now the vision of a new station is coming into focus.
San Mateo County supervisors today voted 5-0 to award a design contract for a new fire house at 350-360 Butano Cutoff, next to Pescadero Middle and High School. It will replace the current Fire Station 59, located in a flood zone, about 1.5 miles away.
“Today marks a significant step in the County’s commitment to bring state-of-the-art public safety facility to everyone who lives in and visits the Pescadero area,” said Supervisor Ray Mueller, whose District 3 includes much of the rural coast. “We are proud to invest in this landmark project that will provide so much more than a typical fire station.”
The new station will provide a barracks and garages/apparatus bays and additional amenities.
Another benefit: fresh drinking water for students and staff at Pescadero Middle/High School.
