Presentation - Future Fire Station Planning

Chandler Fire Station 
Development Plan 
Quality of Life Subcommittee Meeting
February 10, 2023

Fire Station 282
• Approved by voters in the 2021 
Bond Election.
• Total project cost is $12,000,000
• Project includes bringing adjacent 
basin to current standards.
• Project is on schedule with a 
certificate of occupancy projected in 
October of 2023. 
• Once completed, a redeployment of 
resources and staff will occur.

Fire Station 284
A 2018 facility condition assessment conducted by Faithful & Gould identified a need for 
$1.1 million in repairs. Regular maintenance and condition evaluation are ongoing.
The Fire Station 4 project was recommended for reconstruction by the Public Safety 
Bond Subcommittee and approved by voters in the 2021 bond election.
Fire Station 4 was built in 1986 and is the only station remaining that does not have 
separate sleeping quarters for men and women.   
The new station will include current design practices to reduce carcinogen exposure to 
firefighters.
Station design is funded for $680,000 in FY 2028-29, and construction is funded for 
$8,787,000 in FY 2029-30.

Fire Station 
2812
Fire Station 2812 is in the earliest phase of planning.
Chandler Fire Department (CFD) has been assessing building 
development, call volume growth, response times, and other 
factors that impact emergency response.
CFD staff identified a desired area of the City to build Fire Station 
2812, with a general location of Arizona Avenue and Queen 
Creek Road.
CFD and the Public Works and Utilities staff identified a potential 
location for Fire Station 2812 on unused City property located on 
Queen Creek Road between McQueen Road and Arizona 
Avenue.

Next Steps
• Complete the Fire Station 2 project and 
redeploy response resources.
• Evaluate the timing of the Fire Station 4 
project based on response needs, 
ongoing building condition assessment, 
and fiscal considerations. Continue to 
maintain critical systems until station is 
fully reconstructed.
• Continue to monitor response needs in 
South Chandler and include the design 
and construction of Fire Station 12 in 
years 9 and 10 in the CIP as a 
placeholder, with regular evaluation of 
demand and timing.
