The Orland Fire Protection District is set to kick off a major remodeling project for their Station 2 this fall 2013. This facility, located at the corner of 151st and 80th Avenue, first opened its doors back in 1980. Initially designed to house volunteer and part-time personnel, Station 2 originally featured just one garage bay and a small combined office, kitchen, and common area. At that time, it wasn’t intended for full-time staffing or round-the-clock operations. Over the years, as the demand for emergency services grew, Station 2 underwent several upgrades to support overnight stays and continuous operations. Additional bays were constructed, and the kitchen/common area was expanded to better meet the needs of the growing team. However, due to the numerous modifications over the decades, bringing Station 2 up to modern codes and standards would only serve as a temporary fix. Recognizing this, the Orland Fire Protection District's Board of Trustees gave their approval for a comprehensive overhaul of Station 2 during their June 2013 meeting. The construction work is scheduled to commence this autumn, with an estimated timeline of around eight weeks for completion. Attached is an artist's rendering showcasing what the updated Station 2 will look like. A detailed plan of the renovations can be viewed [here]. For comparison, the current state of Station 2 is also provided below, captured by photographer Karl Klotz. Special thanks go out to Kevin for sharing this exciting update! --- As someone who follows local developments closely, I’m thrilled to see this progress. The new design looks promising, offering much-needed improvements while maintaining the historical significance of the building. It’s great to witness such forward-thinking initiatives within our community, ensuring that our firefighters have the best possible facilities to carry out their critical work. Let’s hope the project wraps up smoothly and on schedule!
