New Roseville Fire Station Taking Shape

Construction is continuing on the new Roseville fire station with the building now fully enclosed and part of its brick exterior work completed.

Roseville Fire Department officials said that current construction work is focusing on putting on the roof and installing the building's electrical and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

The target completion date is this coming October for Roseville's new $9.2 million fire station. It is being built just north of Roseville City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Drive. 

"We are anticipating a move in period of September 2013 and hope to be fully operational in the first part of October,"  Fire Chief Tim O'Neill said in previous Patch story. 

The new fire station, which city officials ground broke for this past fall, will be 32,000 to 36,000 square feet in size. Some of its features will include geothermal ground-source heating, natural lighting, LED lighting, high R-value walls and windows and a white membrane roof that reflects solar light and heat to minimize the heat island effect.
