New Fire Station To Open In Oregon City (Photo) -02/11/19
Clackamas Fire District #1 will hold a ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony for its newest building, the Hilltop Community Fire Station 16 in Oregon City on Tuesday, February 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The ceremony will begin with a presentation and history of the building, followed by the formal ribbon cutting at 11:20 a.m. Fire District staff and firefighters will be available for tours of the new station, immediately after the ceremony.
The new 12,400 square foot, state of the art fire station replaces the existing fire station that was originally built in 1972 and served the Oregon City community for 44 years. The construction of this building was paid for by funds from the Fire District’s general obligation bond that was passed by voters in May of 2015 for $29 million.
Hilltop Community Fire Station 16 was designed and built with future growth in mind, and will be a vital structure for delivering emergency services well into the future. Currently, Hilltop Community Fire Station 16 houses Truck 316 with four firefighters, Medic 316 with two paramedics and one Battalion Chief, who will collectively respond to the over 3,000 calls for service each year in the Hilltop area.
The Fire District began the process for designing a new Fire Station in 2016 through a request for proposals for architectural and contractor services. The request for proposal process resulted in the hiring of Hennebery Eddy Architects, Inc. and Emerick Construction to complete the project.
The public is welcome to attend the ribbon cutting and open house ceremony to see this cutting edge building, visit our firefighters and ask questions. Hilltop Community Fire Station 16 is located at 19340 Molalla Ave., Oregon City, OR 97045. Due to limited on-site parking, additional parking can be found at:
